Melo will return by specific date.
Miller will return by specific date.
I'm not asking for much here. What's with the uncertainty?
Watch 2 weeks from now we still not sure on their return.
I don't really think that is how injuries work though, it sucks but I would assume they will play once they feel like they can play at 100%.
Right. No team gives specific return dates when guys get injured, because there can be setbacks in the recovery process. It's not known when guys will return, because injuries vary and players can respond differently to different treatment protocols.
The most they'll do is offer re-evaluation dates like we're doing for Brandon.
For example, this is PHX's announcement for Jalen Green's injury:
?s=20
That's what teams do. "Player X is injured, he'll be evaluated after Y weeks."
And if you've ever gotten PT for an injury, that's what the recovery process is like. They don't give dates, they give milestones in the recovery process and very loose timelines, since they can't always predict exactly how someone's body will recover.
