He took full contact in practice today by various sources: Goodwill, KC

Yeah MFers!!!!!!!

Many of you are completely glossing over the fact that he will need 1-2 weeks of full contact practices before he even returns to game action.

Lets assume he begins contact practice by this Thursday

I would then expect the earliest full game return to be April 9th against Miami, but more likely April 11th at home vs. the 76ers

Naw, nobody is glossing over the fact. I think everyone here gets it. But at the end of the day, nobody here will exactly know the logistics of how this will play out.

This is the kind of tweet that puts fear into LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Yep, which is why I wasn't getting that excited over last week's news. Always safe to assume with Derrick that he'll need plenty of time before declaring himself ready.

Obligatory

Thursday the 9th against the Heat? Wednesday & Thursday are back to backs, I would not expect him to play in both.

Well he took full contact today sooooooo GTFO.

I think your week timeline is pretty accurate though so hopefully back for the Magic game on the 8th or maybe he'll be back for this Sunday vs Cleveland?

I don't think there is any chance he plays this Sunday vs. Cleveland

Just look at Thibs comments about his conditioning

I still think the earliest we see him is while we play the back-back in FL

Most likely return date in 4/11 at home against the 76ers (which gives him 3 games to play in before playoffs)

Lets be honest, round 1 vs. Milwaukee will be a tune up for him too

Let's take this party over here.
