1/6 vs Jazz
1/8 vs Bulls
1/10 @ Knicks
1/11 @ Celtics

Something tells me it won’t be until next week.

Slim to none. Look for the 16th.

It will really depend on how he looks in practice Tuesday

If he looks good, they may give him 10-15 minutes Wednesday

Be easier to predict if we knew the practice schedule. I can only assume we practice every off day before a home game.

We actually don’t. NBA teams practice a lot less than people think. Just depends on the schedule and work load. For instance we did not practice today. We will Tuesday but it probably won’t be an intense one considering the schedule.

Just looking at the schedule it will go:

Mon: Shootaround/Game

Tue: Practice

Wed: Shootaround/Game

Thur: Practice then travel

Fri: Game

Sat: Game

Sun: Shootaround/Travel

Mon: Game

Tues: Travel back home

Wed: Practice

Thurs 16th: Game (Latest Zion debuts IMO)

I'm still not convinced he has to make debut at home. The knicks game is on espn? Sounds like a good time to debut. Then rest Saturday game against Boston then play in Detroit and make home debut with two games in against Utah.

He doesn’t have to. But I’m sure it’s what the team would prefer.

After the Saints game yesterday, a Zion debut is needed more than ever. It would be absolutely incredible to see him take the floor Tuesday night
We don't play Tuesday. You mean Wednesday?

Don't play Tuesday.

We play Monday, Wednesday at home, then road games on Friday, Saturday and Monday, then a home game on Thursday the 16th and another home game on the 18th versus the Clippers on national TV. Also a national TV game on the 20th on TNT versus the Grizz.

I think the 16th is the most logical date. And I think the league and ESPN/TNT will be on Griffin's arse to make sure he plays in those games.

No way. I do not think there is a chance it will be that late, but we have been wrong before.

All signs point to it being very, very imminent.

Hell the day of the Lakers game he went through TWO sets of workouts.

They are definitely not trying to tank at this point. They are playing much better and are 3 games out of the 8th seed. They are going to go for it until it is out of reach.

I think it’s going to be the nationally televised home game against the Clippers.
