I don't think, based on the time passed and the ORL history, that he's being rushed back. If he's good to go...let's go!

We just added a top 10 offensive talent to our lineup. Things are looking up.

Buy a ticket, and you might get to see the former #1 overall pick. Sounds like bad PRmagik9113 wrote:rcklsscognition wrote:Cmon wit this thur or Friday. Give us the day.

I bought T-Wolves tickets two weeks ago thinking he would be back for sure by tomorrow’s game. Feels so freaking dirty doing this to the fans, like seriously WTF?!

If its a back2back.. I would prefer he plays the 1st game not the 2nd so he has extra time to rest/heal for the next game.

Bucks is the more important game.

Paolos injury status is more important for me. Wasnt thinking of standings or anything just more rest time in between games while he is ramping back up

I mean come on it’s been a rough f’ ing season with injuries, he’s cleared and ready to play so be transparent with the fans. It just feels like a huge F you right now by not letting us now. Also being cleared and back yet not playing him tomorrow wouldn’t be taken very well by fans buying tickets today for that game.

yeah i mean... better a 2 day rest than 1 right? 3 days rest than 2?
I mean... the guy hasnt been in the court for 2 months or so. We will see after a week if we can throw him back to the usual.

Kid gloves is cool if it means he doesn’t start tomorrow BUT he still plays. Not playing your All Star and franchise player at all when he’s cleared to play is stupidity.

Agreed with all of this but I would choose the extra rest.
