James Wiseman was all set to represent his new shoe company, Anta, in the Warriors' game against the Charlotte Hornets, before a conversation with one of the team's assistant coaches prompted a quick change in sneaker.
Steve Kerr spoke to the media on Saturday after Warriors practice, and the head coach revealed why Wiseman made a last-minute wardrobe change.
"James before the game, had a pair of Antas out," Kerr explained. "Getting ready to wear a pair of Gordon Hayward Antas, and (Warriors video coordinator Jacob Rubin) Jacob told him 'you can't wear Gordon Hayward Antas when you're playing against Gordon Hayward' and so he changed, I think he changed into the Klay Thompsons.
