The Warriors haven’t announced the severity of the injury, only that Wiseman had an MRI that they’re evaluating, but the fear is that the prize rookie will be lost for the season , according to Wojnarowski.
Warriors are consulting with doctors over next couple of days, but there's certainly an expectation that Wiseman could miss the rest of the regular season, sources tell ESPN. For now, they're still working through a plan of action and timeline. https://t.co/nDGISG1y4Z
