I hope they close the season strong, and reach the PO with momentum, I don't trust them to, though.

Absolutely yes, Luka is a warrior. I saw him play despite a lot of injury.

If he is out of so many games then the problem is very very serious.

I hope they will not let him to force a premature return.

The coaching staff has a history of being ambiguous about injuries, Green injury was "day 2 day" for almost 2 months.

I thought Luka had a full session 3 days ago, how come he's not ready yet? We are screwed without him. Kinda sick of watching him miss 16-18 games every season. He's gonan be chilling half a season by the time he's 30/

Blame the FO and coaching staff, they created a roster that necessitate him playing for 36 mins at least to have a shot against any team in the league.
Luka is at least 250lbs, likely higher, and his playing style has him dribble and drive constantly, he'll never be an iron man.
