The Warriors were getting ready to face-off against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, but James Wiseman's performance in the G League was still a big topic in Steve Kerr's pregame interview.

Wiseman had 18 points and six rebounds in 20 minutes of play. With that, the Warriors head coach happily shared his thoughts with the media about his center before tip-off.

“I'm excited for him. I was so happy to see him the other night,” Kerr told Clutchpoints. “I watched the tape and he just looked happy. It looked like he was excited and moving well. It’s been a long 11 months for him. Thrilled for James that he’s back on the floor. He deserves it.”
