However, Wiseman got hurt in the first half.
Via The Indiana Pacers: “Injury Update: James Wiseman (left calf) will not return to tonight’s game.”
Many fans reacted to the news.
Mark Jones: “James Wiseman already with 6 quick points on 1st quarter for @Pacers. Great touch around the bucket.
Looks very comfortable. But just got hurt. Non contact injury while backpedalling… grabbing the back of his foot. I don’t wanna say it.
Kid can’t catch a break. 🙏🏽”
Keith Smith: “Oh man. James Wiseman went down with no one around him and looked back like he got kicked. That’s always the worst thing to see.”
