Longest recovery you've seen since...Jaren Jackson Jr. When he had the same injury. Last year.
Critique his game but the insinuation that he's a wuss for not forcing his meniscus to recover quicker is a really weird take to have.

Is that a sports bra he is wearing?

Warriors weren't close to beating the Suns team that played last night imo with a hot Curry or not. Whenever they needed a stop or an easy basket, they got one. They didn't even spam the p n r like they usually do. Kerr held back as well but that was a subtle, respectable blow out.
We were up 48-43 when Booker got hurt
Sometimes its better to stay silent

It's hard to lap ahead so many players in their rotation. I like him, I think he will be a fine player as time passes.

Really, when the Warriors think of their future, they in large part envision Wiseman using these first few years as a grand learning experience, then rampaging through the NBA landscape. That view is not changing any time soon.
The Warriors think Wiseman’s going to be a star
...This is sort of the point: The combination of Wiseman’s skill set and size is so unique that it will make things a little different for the Warriors. (Put Jonathan Kuminga in this category, too.) And whether it’s in four months or two years, at some point in the history of this franchise, they’ll want some different things either to help Curry, Klay and Draymond extend their prime years or to take over the team after those years have come and gone.
I mean, did you see this recent video of Wiseman doing a dribbling drill after practice?
They’re not too interested in looking for a better center this season
Would, say, Indiana’s Myles Turner, a proven shooter and dominant shot-blocker, be a good addition for the Warriors now that Indiana is looking at a possible roster shakeup? On the face of it, sure. Turner’s only 25. A prospective closing lineup of Curry, Klay, Draymond, Andrew Wiggins and Turner would be theoretically scary for all opponents.
But the Warriors have closed with Draymond at center in the biggest games for years and aren’t about to stop doing it now. It works, or else they wouldn’t have those three championships.
Admittedly, Wiseman isn’t built for the NBA’s small-ball era. But the Warriors believe they have that style locked in already and want Wiseman to be the kind of player who gets them into other dimensions, whether that’s this season or in future years.
What does that mean to you, James? “Just play my role to the best of my ability and just do what got me here — rebound, run the floor, block shots,” Wiseman said. “That’s what I’m good at, so that’s what I’m going to do. What you’re going to see from me out there is really just me playing my role, getting buckets and just being a great teammate. Having fun.”
