NBA rumors: James Wiseman, Eric Paschall out vs. Rockets for contact tracing - NBC Sports Bay Area

The Warriors will not be at full strength when they take the court Wednesday night to face the Houston Rockets.

James Wiseman and Eric Paschall are out because of COVID-19 protocols, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater.

Contact tracing. A few of the Warriors' assistant coaches on the developmental staff will be entering health and safety protocols as well. Rough time for the Warriors to lose Wiseman and Paschall, just as they were prioritizing developmental minutes. https://t.co/oTJ66WHViH

Wiseman missed the first week of training camp and all three of the Warriors' preseason games after testing positive for COVID-19 in November.

Paschall did not play vs. the Indiana Pacers back on Jan. 12 after he received a false-positive test result.

It is unclear if either player will be available when the Warriors face the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday and Saturday.

The Rockets -- who have lost 17 games in a row -- will be without Victor Oladipo, P.J. Tucker, John Wall and Eric Gordon.

Source: Rockets big man Christian Wood is expected to return tonight vs. Warriors. Houston is 0-17 since Wood, the Rockets’ leading scorer and rebounder, went down with a sprained right ankle.
