Availability
James Wiseman has been diagnosed with a torn Achilles and is set to miss an extended period of time.
Fantasy Impact
Wiseman suffered a torn Achilles during Indiana's season opener on Wednesday and is set to miss an extended period of time. He hasn't officially been ruled out for the remainder of the season, but that's the usual recovery for this kind of injury. Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are set to see more work than expected this year as a result of Wiseman's absence.
James Wiseman has agreed on a two-year contract with the Indiana Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Wiseman averaged 7.1 points and 5.3 points across 63 games (and six starts) last season with the Pistons. The former No. 2 overall pick will head to Indiana where he figures to play a role behind Myles Turner off the bench.
The Detroit Pistons did not tender James Wiseman a qualifying offer.
Fantasy Impact
Wiseman becomes an unrestricted free agent. He played a career-high 63 games averaging 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in 17.3 minutes last season.
The Pistons will soon renounce James Wiseman making him an unrestricted free agent.
Fantasy Impact
The Pistons will open up more cap space instead of giving Wiseman a one-year qualifying offer. He should draw some interest on the open market.
James Wiseman scored 21 points (8-17 FG, 5-7 FT) to go along with 17 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in the Pistons 123-95 loss against the Spurs.
Fantasy Impact
Wiseman got another start to close the regular season with Jalen Duren sidelined. He was able to show some flashes this year with Detroit in spot starts, but he'll likely remain off the fantasy radar next year.
