INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Pacers center James Wiseman tore his left Achilles tendon in the season opener, the team said Thursday.
Wiseman was playing in his first game with the Pacers when he was hurt in the first quarter of their 115-109 victory at Detroit on Wednesday. Wiseman limped off the floor following a missed 3-pointer after scoring six points in his first 4 1/2 minutes.
Wiseman had an MRI Thursday that confirmed the injury, and the Pacers said they are working with Wiseman to evaluate treatment options.
The No. 2 pick in the 2020 draft joined Indiana this summer after playing the last 1 1/2 seasons in Detroit.
