Warriors' James Wiseman heads to G League for extended stint

SAN FRANCISCO -- James Wiseman will go down to the Golden State Warriors' G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, on Tuesday for an extended period, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Monday night.

Wiseman's stint could last up to 10 consecutive days, Kerr said. The team informed Wiseman of this decision on Sunday.

"I don't look at this as a demotion," Wiseman told reporters Monday night. "I'm just ready to go out there and hoop."

Wiseman, the 2020 No. 2 overall pick, has seen himself fall out of Golden State's rotation and hadn't played in the Warriors' three games before Monday's blowout 130-95 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
