This is week 3, I’m hoping he started rehab already.

"Personally — this isn't from the medical team or anything — but the way I feel, I think [I'm back] before Christmas," Banchero said. "So maybe that's a week before. A couple of days before. Now, if it's around that time, Arnie (Kander) says, 'Man, no way. You can't go,' then I'll listen. But if he gives me the green light, then I'm going to do it for sure."

Yeah, I think POSSIBLY, we could see Paolo back around the middle of December at the earliest. But it's all still very opaque at this point.

There's really no telling with an injury like this...but I do see him jumping around on the sidelines without cringing in pain. That's pretty significant IMO.

Yikes...it's also the kind of injury that, if you screw up during the healing period...you start over

I have total faith in Kander. Been a fan of his since the 90's. He was integral to the Pistons ship and I think he will be in Orlando as well. Banchero will be fine.

Provin Ya'll Wrong!!!

He's in the jumping around on the sidelines phase. Next up is the moonlighting as Stuff phase.

Hopefully one of the beat writers ask about Paolo’s recovery plan this week.
I would think that would be high on their list of questions.

While I have zero interest in him returning early. Especially as we are doing ok at the moment. I definitely want to understand what the current timeline is.

Looks like he's started doing some light on-court work. Sounds like a good sign.

We are about to enter one of the hardest parts of the schedule. We most definitely want him back sooner rather than later.

If he's "completely healed"and cleared by the docs then we need him...

Yeah, nobody should argue that. But if he isn't cleared, then no.

I need video evidence JI’s pastor has claimed Paolo is completely healed before I’m a believer.
