if swelling still hasn't subsided then it might as well be an acl tear. cause there's no way he's coming back on shortened recovery.

for now the best we can hope for is to win g6, advance, and pray for everything to line up correctly for us in the WCF, such that kawhi MIGHT have a shot at returning in the finals.

one step at a time, though. and smart thing to do is just to assume he's done for the season.

If it is mild, then it is 2-4 weeks. 2 weeks would mean that best case scenario, he comes back for a possible games 6 and/or 7 in the WCF if this current series goes to 7 games. If Clippers win tomorrow, he could only make it back for a possible game 7 in the WCF. If it is 3-4 weeks, then that's either miss at least half of the finals, or the rest of the season.

I think that Kawhi sit out for the next couple of months ... :( I don't see him coming back this playoffs...

Ya ill be shocked if he plays again this year. Hell I'll be pleasantly surprised if we hear it's not a tear. I'm expecting the worst and he misses all next season too.
