1 month probably means the season.

Can't believe they actually put a time table on it!!

I figured something needed to happen with WCJ and others about to return. Probably a good thing IF we are getting depth back soon.

Didn’t even realize they were discussing surgery for him. Had no clue what was wrong with him. Glad we have a timeline.

They didn't really put a timetable on it.

They said he'll be re-evaluated in one month. He might miss another month or two after that :lol:

I kinda forgot.. what happened? Like how did he get injured?

Hope his "recovery" period coincides with JI's return.

I forgot too. Really want everyone available for trade season. Isaac’s ability, in particular, might have big effects on who we can afford to package. Chuma has value too, imo…happy to keep him, ok with trading too.

In cases like this, I always wonder why they didn't just do the surgery right from the jump. "Let's avoid a one month rehab from surgery by resting for one month."
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

He was barely serviceable when he was playing and his 3pt shot is uglier than Fultz.

After he comes back from injury I'd still like to see what he has since we're finally playing like a team now.

Hopefully he can have a full and speedy recovery.

Admiral will hold down the fort for now, I guess.

Simple and effective player. Not flashy and have good defensive instincts.

Not sure why the hate. He is still better than some of the guys in our rotation. Lol

Basically he's a 3&D connector piece that has never really been good enough at the "3" part to justify a regular rotation spot.

Plays hard. Good defensively, but just hasn't made enough shots.
