    February was always a safe deadline imo to avoid any questions. Just a guess, based mainly on other players timelines with similar injuries, I think he’ll be back before the new year.

    I think Nurk's return date will be heavily influenced by Whiteside's effectiveness in his stead.

    I hope not.

    Don’t rush him back AT all.

    (Get the big man as much rest as possible.)

    Even if Whiteside sucks, the closer to the ASB the better IMO.

    I think you might be correct though.

    If everyone would just agree with Bones, then he wouldn't correct you so often. Of course now I will incur the wrath but it was a really good day at work and I don't care. :cheers: Respect the knowledge, but damn.

    If Whiteside sucks and considering the fact Pau is the backup and the starting PF will be Zach Collins I m afraid we will be close to missing the playoffs if Nurk takes too long. So he will need to be rushed.

    But let's be honest even before new year will not be rushing him back if he is really on or ahead of schedule. They just threw the ASB thing out there but he will be totally fine way earlier.

    Just reading this thread. Same old shit.

    As far as the topic on hand, I hope they wait to have Nurk come back. No need to rush.

    False. Bones is right, you're wrong.

    You guys know what will definitely help the situation? Bringing up old shit from 2 months ago like it's new today when @BonesJones has been trying to be better lately.

    Stop fucking contributing to the problem if you want it to change.

    So i was talking to a friend of a friend of a girlfriend of a guy that knows a guy that was in touch with another guy that knows Nurk will be back sometime next season.
    Sounds legit to me but of course it's just what i heard?

    And for the record people, Bones did the right thing in all of that by diverting it off the forum and hit me up via text and we sorted shit out.
    All good.
