No timetable on his return was the last report on him.

He didn't look like he was in the sling last game, so hopefully good signs.

I'd be surprised if they risk AG if they are truly thinking about trading him. So that'll be interesting to watch

Hopefully that AG and Evan rest is a prelude for a trade/movement.

Is that like Bamba's "way away" timeline? So we expect him April?

Lakeland just won The NBA G League Championship.

Hoping this is the start of an exciting week long period to The NBA trading Deadline a week from today.

We are basically the 76er's at this point with how we've handled rookies. I mean seriously. Isaac played less than 30 games year one, Chuma didn't play a minute, Bamba played 47, && now Cole will probably play around the same games or maybe not even play again this season.

It's comical and depressing at the same time.

Great news. Hopefully he plays well enough to increase his trade value, but not enough to win.

Hopefully if ever we are in danger of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, AG will be benched due to "minutes restriction" lol

Magic only have 3 guards active tonight.

MCW, Bacon (if you consider him a guard) and Randle.

I have a bad feeling about this game. The Heat have a lot of players out.
