Begley just reported the goal for him after he comes back is to play a max of 30-35 games. Won’t play back to back. Want him fully fresh for playoffs. He’s running. But not sprinting/ taking full contact yet.
I really don't care what Begley has to say. He's a hack. If he somehow got that info from a reliable source, why can't Thibs tell us that? We have 46 games to go. If he's only gonna play in 30-35 games and no back to backs then they should have and idea when he will return.
I want the team to give us an actual clue. It has been like 8 months since Mitch was injured again. What's the deal? His trade value has to be pretty low so, you're not fooling anyone there. There is no way possible that they don't have an estimated time for return. Instead of letting the media push the narrative just give us an honest answer! He's not sprinting or ready for full contact is just nonsense as an answer.
I'll try to guestimate based on Begley guessing.
We have 10 B2BS remaining (I think we have B2B B2Bs four times!) So there's 5 games he won't play out of the 46 left. 41 games remaining. If he is to play 30-35 then he won't be back for 6-11 games? That looks like 1/15 or 1/27 before we see him back. The team can't figure it out yet? Of course not. He's not sprinting yet so, we have no clue.![]()
My guess...1/27. A week before the TDL.
Begley is one of the organizations main mouthpieces. So what he said is very likely good info JB.
He is probably still trending for end of Jan beginning of Feb timeframe.
No he isn't.
