Golden State Warriors big man James Wiseman still hasn't played this season after a lengthy recovery from a meniscus injury. His return is expected sometime in January alongside Klay Thompson, which should give an already solid Dubs team a massive boost. Amid Wiseman's rehab, Stephen Curry sent him a rather powerful message.

Via Sports Illustrated:

“He told me, ‘Make sure you embrace the monotony of everyday life, in terms of the NBA,’” the Warriors center said. “Every day, you have to embrace the fact you got to wake up every morning and do the same routine: shoot around, play the game, same thing over and over. Even in the offseason, you got to work out every day. That is what makes a difference.”

Consistency is key and there is no one better to preach that than Curry, who is the epitome of hard work. Considering Wiseman didn't tear his ACL or MCL, this has actually been a rather long recovery. But the Warriors are taking their sweet time with the former first round pick who is seen as a massive piece of their future.

In 39 games last season, Wiseman averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds before his campaign was cut short due to the injury. He is simply just scratching the surface with his potential and if he can come back and stay healthy, the sky is the limit for the Warriors youngster.
