Wiseman: When I got injured I cried so hard I couldn’t even get to my mom’s apartment

James Wiseman said he was crushed when he suffered the meniscus injury in April 2021 that kept him off the court for more than a year and an entire NBA season.

Per Uproxx, “When I first got injured, I was crying so hard I couldn’t even get to my mom’s apartment,” Wiseman recalls. “My mom had to carry me to her apartment. I was just crushed. Having a lot of nights where I was crying a lot, like a lot of times where I had thoughts like …” he trails off for a minute, eyes glancing through rain-flecked, floor-to-ceiling windows high up in a quiet room on the top floor of Chase Center. Outside, a dense cover of fog has rolled in with the morning, like clockwork, swallowing up the long freighters lolling in the Bay.

“It was difficult,” Wiseman remembers. “Even personally, like trying to go use the restroom, or get up, it was super difficult.”

Another outlet Wiseman took to was journaling. His therapist recommended keeping a journal with him every day for “self inventory, or self reflection.” He found the tangible process of putting his thoughts to paper gave him a sense of mental clarity, and more than that, a needed outlet. “I had so many thoughts and emotions, and being a man, they teach you to try to hold your emotions in, coming from the status quo society. But coming from a real man’s perspective, you gotta express yourself,” Wiseman says.

Whether through opening up or seeing his thoughts and feelings so neatly laid out, that outlet roused another creative release for Wiseman: making music. “What’s crazy is the music stuff, I wasn’t really invested in it. I was more invested in just writing,” he says with a smile. “It just became a song.”

The Milwaukee Bucks are interested in Jae Crowder, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. 

The Bucks and Suns recently engaged in trade talks surrounding the veteran forward. The Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat and Boston Celtics have all been mentioned as potential landing spots for Crowder too. For now, Crowder remains away from the Suns, as Phoenix works on finding a trade partner.

Milwaukee has a few different trade avenues to land the 3&D combo forward. Most would involve the Bucks parting with at least one rotation player, but Crowder could give them the defense and floor spacing they’ve lacked at the forward spot since losing P.J. Tucker in free agency before last season.
