The Warriors are starting Jonathan Kuminga tonight in Atlanta in place of Kevon Looney, per source. Very notable shift. This splits up Draymond Green and Looney, who will likely be paired with Porter off bench. – 6:57 PM

This morning at shootaround, I asked Nate McMillan about John Collins:
“He’s feeling better but he’s not doing anything as far as movement, any type of running. I think in the next day or so they’ll probably increase his activity… he’s not doing any type of shooting.” – 6:39 PM

Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Atlanta has won three of its last four games against the Warriors, including two straight games at State Farm Arena. Over those two wins against GSW at home, the Hawks are averaging 110.5 PPG, while holding the Warriors to 95.0 PPG.

Steve Kerr on James Wiseman being out for the season:
“We’re just protecting James’ future, and it makes the most sense to go this route, and again I just feel terrible for James.” – 6:06 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Steve Kerr said it’s possible James Wiseman will be able to do on court activity the next few months behind the scenes. Also said he’s comfortable with what the Warriors have at center heading into playoffs. pic.twitter.com/VbfBfOB6WL – 6:05 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Steve Kerr on the decision to shut James Wiseman down for the rest of the season: “it was ultimately very simple: we’re protecting James’ future.”
Says he wouldn’t be able to play in any games for the next few weeks, so made sense to rule him out. – 6:02 PM

Golden State Warriors @warriors
James Wiseman, who has missed the first 73 games of the 2021-22 season after undergoing surgery to repair a meniscal tear in his right knee, will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, including the 2022 NBA Playoffs. pic.twitter.com/ebv6ILitHy – 5:55 PM

Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
For the best. It would have been difficult to drop Wiseman into the playoffs without a single regular season game. It’s so late in the season, take the expectation off the now and put him in a position to succeed next season. pic.twitter.com/3H7ajvIUyj – 5:50 PM

CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
League sources confirm to the @sfchronicle that James Wiseman has been ruled out for the rest of the season. ESPN was first to report the news. Golden State has decided to take a long-term approach with Wiseman’s recovery. – 5:47 PM

Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
The out “indefinitely” news we got on Wiseman last week made him being shut down for the season rather obvious. No need to freak out. Throwing him into the fire before the recent swelling was already dicey as it is. – 5:44 PM

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Kawhi Leonard, Zion Williamson, Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray, now James Wiseman ruled out for the rest of 2021-22 campaign … too many good players who haven’t made it onto the floor for a single minute all season.

ESPN Sources: Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has been ruled out for the rest of the season and will continue rehabilitating his right knee. Wiseman has been recovering from a meniscus repair last April, and the team has been cautious to protect him for the long-term. – 5:34 PM
