Saturday morning, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed reports about the swelling in James Wiseman’s knee. The coach was fully open when he explained in detail his perspective on the situation.

“Yesterday he didn't practice,” the Warriors coach told the media. “So both yesterday, and today our training staff has put its head together with the doctors that have been working with James, and basically, the decision was let's pause because of the swelling in the knee.”

James Wiseman has had multiple setbacks this season that have halted his return. This was the closest the second-year center has been to being back with the team. Now, there is uncertainty he will suit up at all in a Golden State jersey this season.

“I feel terrible for James,” Kerr said. “The hope was that he would play tomorrow in Santa Cruz. That's not going to happen. I will just keep going back to the fact that he's 20 years old, and he's got his whole future ahead. We just have to be really cautious. We've got to do what's best for him long-term. So no game tomorrow. He probably won't go on the trip with us. We'll take a pause, and we'll see how the knee responds, and we'll go from there.”
