Cut by Toronto
The Raptors waived Wiseman (Achilles) after acquiring him from the Pacers earlier Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old big man is out for the season after undergoing surgery in October to repair a torn Achilles tendon, so Toronto likely just agreed to acquire him for salary-cap purposes. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft could be fully healthy for the start of the 2025-26 season, but it's unclear if he'll be able to catch on anywhere in free agency in advance of training camp in the fall.

2020
After another disappointing season, Wiseman's role in Detroit is no clearer than it was when he was traded. Although he was given an opportunity to prove himself to close the season, he fell short despite starting in 22 games down the stretch. In that span, he was barely inside the top 300 in standard leagues, averaging 13.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 0.9 blocks. At this point, he is a much worse version of Deandre Ayton, with very little upside to improve anytime soon. Jalen Duren appears to be the center of the future in Detroit, meaning Wiseman is likely to be the backup. He also has to contend with Marvin Bagley and Isaiah Stewart, both of whom can be utilized at the center position. At this point, there is no reason to draft Wiseman outside of very deep leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could be included in deal
Wiseman could be included in the deal that would send Thomas Bryant to the Pacers, according to Ian Begley of SportsNet New York.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers are set to add Bryant to their roster in order to bolster their frontcourt depth. Wiseman could be added as a makeweight in the deal, but he wouldn't play a role for the Heat since he's out for the season with an Achilles injury.
