    If we make a big playoff run, do we bring him off the bench in the WCF and Finals?

    If he's had enough time to rehab and strengthen his knee, while keeping the rest of his body in shape, and IF we miraculously make it to the WCF and Finals, yea.

    If he's not in shape, and it's the early rounds, no way.

    its going to be fucking painful seeing him on the sidelines in a suit all year again, then every fucking announcer for the other team is yapping about bullshit.

    I wonder how long it will take him to get cleared for 5on5 compared to his MF surgery. It took close to 12 months for that. And when he's able to just run as well and start getting back in shape.

    I feel bad for us as fans for having to listen to that bullshit again, but I feel even worse for GO. He doesn't deserve this.

    Why is it always the good guys that have the worst luck?

    Out everyone healthy on our team, why did Greg have to endure a season ender?

    Why, wtf has Portland done to the Karma gods for this?

    This latest injury has solidified my stance as an atheist.

    I'm still interested in comparing the timeline for this injury to his MF surgery. Like when he'll be able practice light drills, began running, cleared to play 5v5, etc.

    No ligament damage.

    Bone has to heal itself. That will take two months.

    Four months to heal. He'll have the summer to strengthen it.

    Excellent news on that confirmation of no ligament or tendon damage. He'll probably do leg exercises and light workouts during the summer and ramp it up heading into camp.

    A microfracture that was caused by nothing.

    A broken patella that was caused by nothing.

    Hopefully before he gets back on the court, a doctor figures out why.

    Seeing him in person you notice just how much bigger his upper body is than his legs. He has very skinny legs compared to his upper body.
