It was a great moment for the player and for the Warriors. Tuesday afternoon, in Salt Lake City since Golden State faces Utah on Wednesday, James Wiseman trained, notably by participating in a 3-against-3.
This is a first for him, ten months after his operation to tear the meniscus of his right knee.
“It’s important for him to get closer to the return”delivered Stephen Curry for ESPN. “As soon as he is back, I hope he can stay in the rotation, not be hampered by injuries anymore. He is young, he still has a lot to learn. But you can only learn by playing. He deserves this chance, after all he has already been through in such a short time. I can’t wait for him. He still has a few steps to go. “
The experience of the last few months has indeed proven that you have to be careful and patient with the interior of the Warriors. We thought we would see him again at the start of the season, then at the same time as Klay Thompson, at the beginning of January, but in the end, each time he was very close to playing with contact, his articulation did not react well.
It is therefore logical now to see Steve Kerr not advance a date for the return of his player. The 3-against-3, even if it only lasted about fifteen minutes, is already a step in the right direction.
