Wiseman has been out of commission due to an NCAA suspension since Nov. 12. He appeared in just three games for Memphis this season due to his previous relationship with Tigers head coach Penny Hardaway, who helped Wiseman and his family move while he was still in high school.

In three games played this season for Memphis, Wiseman averaged 19.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game.
