Golden State Warriors rookie James Wiseman suffered a torn meniscus injury in his right knee, there is no timetable for his return but, according to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, he could miss the remainder of the season.
Warriors are consulting with doctors over next couple of days, but there's certainly an expectation that Wiseman could miss the rest of the regular season, sources tell ESPN. For now, they're still working through a plan of action and timeline. https://t.co/nDGISG1y4Z

This is Wiseman second injury in the season after a sprained wrist kept him out for a couple of weeks at the start of February and now, when he returned and was in plans to be in the starting lineup for the remainder of the season, a knee injury will send him back to recovery.
The center, drafted second overall in the 2020 Draft by the Warriors, has played in 39 games and is averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 21 minutes per game.
