James Wiseman’s tenure as a nightly member of the Golden State Warriors’ rotation has been interrupted. The good news is that his time on the sideline seems poised to be brief. Wiseman will miss Friday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after rolling his left ankle playing 3-on-3 in practice, Steve Kerr told reporters during […]

James Wiseman was held scoreless in the Golden State Warriors’ 123-109 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Christmas Day. He didn’t even take a single shot. Head coach Steve Kerr doesn’t seem to mind too much. The Warriors head coach was asked about what he thought of Wiseman’s performance. Kerr was effusive in his praise […]

There’s no denying James Wiseman already has the skill set to put up numbers for the Golden State Warriors. His career-high 30 points on 12-of-14 shooting in the short-handed Warriors’ blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday provided ample evidence of that reality, Wiseman’s combination of size, explosiveness and budding skill around the paint […]

The woefully short-handed Golden State Warriors were routed by the surging New York Knicks on Tuesday, falling 132-94 at Madison Square Garden despite a spirited first half. Here are three key reactions from the defending champions’ loss on the first leg of a difficult back-to-back in the Tri-State Area. Losing numbers games The Warriors dressed […]

Odds are still against James Wiseman being a regular contributor when it matters most for the Golden State Warriors—at least assuming the defending champions make the playoffs. Stephen Curry’s shoulder injury has put everything in flux for the Warriors, including the team’s rotation as it searches for ways to weather the storm of his weeks-long […]

The Golden State Warriors could use all the help they can get right about now. This is after Stephen Curry suffered a scary-looking injury against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The Dubs talisman is now expected to miss at least a couple of weeks, and the Warriors will need the rest of the squad to […]

The Golden State Warriors defense of their 2022 Finals victory hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. They have just a 14-15 record, and haven’t looked anything like the team that coasted through the playoffs last season to win their fourth title in the past eight seasons. It’s become pretty clear early on that this team […]

The Golden State Warriors scored a much-needed win on Saturday in a highly-anticipated NBA Finals rematch against the Boston Celtics. The Dubs had lost their previous two games and were in dire need of a win against the league-best Celtics. After Saturday’s victory, Stephen Curry and Co. embark on an extended six-game road trip which […]

The Golden State Warriors had just recalled James Wiseman from the G League for their quick, one game road trip against the Utah Jazz, and they’ve already sent him back down to Santa Cruz as per Kendra Andrews of ESPN. The Warriors have reassigned James Wiseman, Ryan Rollins and Patrick Baldwin Jr. to the G […]

The Golden State Warriors recalled James Wiseman from the G League. He’s set to play in the defending champions’ game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, too, contributing off the bench as the Warriors try and steal a road win without Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins. But don’t take Wiseman’s return to the […]

James Wiseman relished the time he spent with the Santa Cruz Warriors. He’d fallen out of Steve Kerr’s rotation when the Golden State Warriors assigned him to the G League in mid-November, poised to miss out on crucial developmental reps that could only come with playing consistent major minutes. The former No. 2 overall pick […]

The Golden State Warriors have recalled James Wiseman from the G League, the team announced on Tuesday. Warriors recall center James Wiseman from Santa Cruz: pic.twitter.com/F563ZUifa8 — Warriors PR (@WarriorsPR) December 6, 2022 Wiseman was assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors on November 15th after falling out of Steve Kerr’s rotation. He began 2022-23 as […]

James Wiseman was back in San Francisco on Thursday for the first time since being assigned to the G-League. Just because he briefly left Santa Cruz for a Players’ Association meeting, though, hardly means the Golden State Warriors will soon be calling Wiseman back up to the NBA. Steve Kerr touched on Wiseman’s stint with […]

James Wiseman is averaging 15.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 26.1 minutes per game since being sent down to the G League two weeks ago. The Santa Cruz Warriors are 3-2 with him in the lineup after going 2-3 in the first five games of the regular season. Wiseman, clearly, isn’t dominating G […]

The Golden State Warriors’ defense of their 2022 championship win hasn’t exactly gone as expected so far. While they appear to be turning the corner, the Warriors are just 10-10 through 20 games of action, which is good for the 10th seed in the Western Conference. Golden State is figuring things out, but they still […]

The Golden State Warriors reportedly have interest in acquiring stranded Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder. Just because their prospective partnership would placate wants and needs of parties, though, hardly means Crowder will soon be bound for the Bay. Here are four obstacles that complicate Golden State’s pursuit of the veteran forward. 3. Salary-matching hurdles Crowder’s […]

The San Antonio Spurs officially kicked off their rebuild this offseason when they traded Dejounte Murray away to the Atlanta Hawks. The Spurs hadn’t really been winning in recent seasons and were struggling to stay afloat, and decided to blow things up by moving Murray and starting from scratch. So far, the Spurs have been […]

After an underwhelming 6-9 start to the 2022-23 season, the Golden State Warriors have won four of their last five to reach the .500 mark at 10-10. Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole have found their footing after slow starts to the season, and Golden State’s defensive intensity has risen to another level recently.  Still, the […]

At this point, it’s hard to deny that James Wiseman’s lack of impact on the squad has been one of the most disappointing narratives surrounding the Golden State Warriors’ poor start to the new season. So much so, that the Warriors decided to send the young big man down to the G League in order […]

James Wiseman’s career with the Golden State Warriors has been, for lack of a better term, extremely disappointing. The former second-overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft has struggled immensely in his first few years in the league. Injuries haven’t helped his development, but he hasn’t looked like an NBA-ready talent when he took the […]

James Wiseman has seen his share of struggles this season and he recently found himself out of the Golden State Warriors rotation. In order for him to continue to get live game reps, he was assigned to the the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s G League affiliate. It is rare for a player of Wiseman’s […]

Lost amid James Wiseman’s G-League assignment is what the former No. 2 overall pick’s stay in Santa Cruz actually means for the Golden State Warriors this season. Draymond Green and Kevon Looney split all available minutes at center once Golden State returned from its winless five-game road trip, with Steve Kerr even starting Jordan Poole […]

The Golden State Warriors have pressed pause on the James Wiseman experiment this season. Just before the 15-game mark of their season, the Warriors brass has decided to send their young big man to the G League. Once upon a time, Jordan Poole was dealt the same fate. After an inconsistent sophomore season, the team […]

The Golden State Warriors are currently in the middle of a tricky balancing act between wanting to further supplement their championship core led by Stephen Curry and wanting to set themselves up for a future beyond their franchise cornerstone. The Warriors have a collection of young prospects, led by Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses […]

James Wiseman took the floor for the first time in three games on Monday. The third-year big man’s minutes weren’t an indication he was suddenly back in the Golden State Warriors’ evolving rotation, though. Wiseman only got off the bench because his team was salting away a blowout win over the San Antonio Spurs, giving […]

The Golden State Warriors continued to build on their dynasty last season when they won the 2022 NBA Finals. So far to start the 2022-23 season, though, the Warriors haven’t looked anything like the team that just won a championship only a few months ago. They currently sport a 5-7 record, and without Stephen Curry’s […]

Despite being off to a blazing 10-1, first-place in the Eastern Conference start to the 2022-23 NBA season, the Milwaukee Bucks are resting on their laurels. Reports out of Wisconsin say that the team is making calls, and exploring the Grayson Allen trade market. The former Duke Blue Devil is having a nice offensive season, […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has already made it clear that he intends to give more minutes to guys like Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb. This only means that there’s going to be less playing time for the Dubs’ younger players, particularly James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga. Warriors general manager Bob Myers is […]

There’s no denying the Golden State Warriors’ current level of play leaves them well short of earning the status as a top-tier title contender. As his 4-6 team continues searching for answers with the holidays fast approaching, though, Golden State president of basketball operations Bob Myers is hardly pushing the panic button. In fact, he’s […]

Jonathan Kuminga and Anthony Lamb served as de facto backup centers in Monday night’s much-needed victory over the Sacramento Kings, the biggest departure among the Golden State Warriors’ highly anticipated rotation changes following a winless five-game road trip. Steve Kerr quickly deviated from his pre-planned bench lineups after the reserves coughed up another early lead, […]

Steve Kerr peeled back the curtain on Sunday, just over 24 hours before the struggling Golden State Warriors take the floor at Chase Center following a winless five-game road trip. Breaking their stunning early-season losing streak is obviously of greatest importance when the Warriors face the Sacramento Kings. But Monday’s game will also serve as […]

The Golden State Warriors are currently in the process of imploding. They are now 3-6 on the season after losing 5 of their past 6 games. Much has been made about their defensive woes, but a recent offensive play is making the rounds on social media. Stephen Curry appeared to be frustrated after James Wiseman […]

The Golden State Warriors squandered another double-digit lead in typical early-season fashion on Thursday, falling to the Orlando Magic 130-129 for their fourth straight loss. The defending champions face their toughest test in the final game of this disastrous road trip in less than 24 hours, traveling to meet Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and the […]

While the season is still in its infancy, the Golden State Warriors’ performances thus far have done little to inspire confidence, especially after they’ve dropped four straight following their most recent 130-129 loss to the previously 1-7 Orlando Magic. Stephen Curry is playing at an insane level, but it hasn’t resulted in wins. This has […]

The Golden State Warriors lost their third straight game on Tuesday night, crumbling in crunch-time against the Miami Heat. The defending champions are winless on their five-game road trip, with its biggest test—a back-to-back against the Orlando Magic and surging New Orleans Pelicans—still to come before returning to the friendly confines of Chase Center. Now […]

The Golden State Warriors still remain to be one of the heavy favorites to go all the way this season because of the fact that they have Stephen Curry on their roster. There’s much more to just Steph, though, with this team packed with elite talent that makes them formidable enough to defend their crown […]

After a long and grueling rehab, James Wiseman is finally back to playing for the Golden State Warriors. The former second-overall pick missed the entirety of the 2021-22 season due to an injury he suffered in his rookie year. Now, Wiseman is balling out for the defending champions as they look to repeat this season. […]

James Wiseman was only on the floor for 14 minutes on Thursday, the fewest he’s played in the Golden State Warriors’ first five games of the regular season. Definitely don’t take the young big man’s comparative lack of playing time as any negative referendum on his performance against the Miami Heat, though. After his team’s […]

Draymond Green believes it’s up to him to fix the Golden State Warriors’ porous early-season defense. Even one of the most impactful, additive defenders in league history, though, couldn’t possibly plug all the leaks that have sprung during the defending champions’ 2-2 start to the regular season. Besides, Green’s sweeping influence can only extend so […]
