In his presser just now.

Was asked if we will see the opening night starting 5 before the Allstar break. Didn't seem optimistic.

The Pels will issue an official update tomorrow.

Looking at the upcoming schedule, it’s very very manageable. I think we will be fine if he’s out longer than expected.

It would suck, but the schedule is as easy of an nba schedule as you could hope for over the next 15 games or so

Doesn’t he have to play to qualify to play in the ASG? I figured that was what sped up his timetable. Once he was announced as a starter the organization suddenly upgraded his timetable.

That’s because….

We’ll have a new and improved starting 5 after tonight’s game.

The “we’ll see” was way too cryptic….

He's on the timeline for a grade 2 pull, what's your issue?

Remember, the report from a few days ago was never a Pels official report.

We’re all just sick of these injuries over and over. I think it’s okay if fans get a bit frustrated with this shite year after year. Especially when it felt like we were finally turning a corner.

We cant afford to have our star players both getting hurt throughout the year every year.

Durant won’t be coming back before the ASB.

They like us maybe thinking the extra 2 weeks off is better than rushing him back to play for 3 games

The teams we play are all beatable. None in the top 3 in the standings. Most well below top 3

That’s logical.

As long as Zion is a FULL GO in Toronto I see no reason to be worried.

100% agree. I'd love to see him out there asap, but that makes sense. Get those 2 extra weeks to rest, rehab, and condition, then come out on the other side ready for the playoff run. Same thing with Dyson.

Then we better not see him until AFTER the ASB.

He has already been out longer than expected…

Originally said at least 3 weeks. We are going on 6 now?
