After nearly a week off to practice, James Wiseman looked extra springy in his latest game with the Santa Cruz Warriors.
In Santa Cruz's 118-106 win over the Stockton Kings on Friday night at Stockton Arena, Wiseman bounced back in a big way, scoring a game-high 24 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field while grabbing a team-high 13 rebounds.
In a sign of progress, Wiseman only committed one foul in just over 27 minutes of action. He was a minus-4, but that wasn't indicative of the impact he made on the game.
