Wiseman is suffering from swelling in his right knee. He was not practicing with the Warriors the past two days, as initially planned.

Moreover, the 20-year-old won't play in Santa Cruz (G League) tomorrow, via the report.

GSW only have 12 games left and there had been an expectation that Wiseman — particularly in the four remaining back-to-backs — would return in time to get some valuable developmental reps before the playoffs, The Athletic reports.

However, Wiseman's status is beyond uncertain. The 2.13-meter centerwas a rookie last season who averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 39 games before sustaining a torn meniscus in April.

Wiseman's come back was pushed back from training camp a couple of times, including a procedure to reduce swelling in November.
