Golden State Warriors rookie center James Wiseman has suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee and is likely to miss the remainder of the season, Stadium reported Sunday.
The 7-foot-1 Wiseman suffered the injury Saturday night in the second quarter of his team’s 125-109 win over the Houston Rockets when he landed awkwardly after an attempted dunk. His knee hit the court, and he walked off with the trainer and didn’t return to the game.
He was scheduled to undergo an MRI.
