Pacers' James Wiseman Undergoes Achilles Surgery, Faces Uncertain Recovery

The Indiana Pacers center is sidelined indefinitely after tearing his Achilles tendon in the season opener against the Detroit Pistons.

James Wiseman suffered a non-contact Achilles tendon tear during the first quarter of the Pacers' season-opening win against the Pistons.
The 23-year-old center had surgery performed by Dr. Martin O'Malley in New York, with the recovery timeline yet to be determined.
Wiseman, a former No. 2 overall pick, joined Indiana as a free agent after stints with the Warriors and Pistons.
The Pacers face a challenge to fill the center position, with limited options beyond Myles Turner and Isaiah Jackson.
Indiana may explore the free agent market or utilize rookie Enrique Freeman as a temporary solution while considering a Disabled Player Exception.
