Sources: Pacers' Wiseman has torn Achilles
Written by I Dig SportsIndiana Pacers center James Wiseman has suffered a torn left Achilles tendon, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Thursday.
The team and Wiseman are working collaboratively to determine treatment options.
Wiseman suffered the injury in Indiana's season-opening 105-109 win at the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
Wiseman had agreed on a two-year contract with the Pacers in the offseason after playing a career-high 63 games for the Pistons last season, averaging 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in 17 minutes.
Drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the No. 2 pick in the 2020 draft, Wiseman was traded to Detroit as part of a four-team deal in 2023.
