He had surgery to repair his ACL on September 3rd. When the playoffs start on April 16th, he'll be 7 and 1/2 months removed from surgery. It's way too early for him to play IMO. Even with a perfect recovery, there's stability risk of the joint if you overdo it too early.

I love Dante and I think he'll be fine NEXT YEAR when he returns.

Final game of the regular season (literally) is Jazz at Lakers on 4/13. Playoffs start a few days after that. IF the Jazz make it, it's doubtful that they'd last long enough to make it worth the risk. Much better to let him have the full 9/10 months of rehab before resuming major basketball activities. Dante can't afford to lose his lateral quickness. Not worth the risk to rush him back.

I love you bruh, but you should really just leave it to the Jazz.

aren't even NFL players returning to full scale action in shorter time frames than that these days ??

Having said that i really don't particularly want him to rush. I also really would rather he doesn't play in the Olympics. One the role on the team isn't going to benefit his development and two would rather he just keeps building his strength and conditioning for next season

If they think it's good to go, then they'll play him. Truly, it will depend on the severity of the injury and how well his body responds to his rehab. In my experience as a football coach, the time frame just doesn't work.

Having said that, I've seen a high school girl soccer player who was back playing a little more than 6 months after her injury, and Adrian Peterson was back to running and cutting full speed after 6/7 months. Not impossible, but it is rare.
