ATLANTA — James Wiseman has been ruled out for the season after he experienced a second setback last week in his recovery from a knee injury, the team announced Friday.
In a statement, Warriors general manager Bob Myers said the team is going to remain patient with Wiseman’s recovery.
“We’ve maintained throughout his entire rehabilitation process that we’re going to be patient and look out for James’ best interests in what we anticipate to be a long and successful career,” Myers said. “As a 20-year-old, his entire career is ahead of him. For us, as an organization, our focus is on James’ long-term health and we’re confident — and our doctors are confident — that this long-term approach will help James become the player we believe he will evolve into when he returns to the court.”
