So heās only back if we make the play-in basically. So heās not back at all
Soooo 2 more weeks before he plays?? These have been the longest 2 week stretches in my life
Umā¦ yay?
Edit: Iām not even sure what this means. Heās cleared for on court activities yet heās 2 weeks away. Just seems like a nicer version of ā2 weeks away from 2 weeks awayā
Unless this team goes on a hot stretch, itās pretty much over. They gotta somehow win 2 in the next 4 road games
At this point I’m rooting for better lottery odds than barely making/missing the play-in.
Our last game is April 9 and two weeks puts him at Apr 5 for reevaluation. We have games on the 7th and 9th. Assuming no further setbacks occur, he will be available for playoffs/play-in. Hopefully the team takes this as a motivation to have us ready for the final push if he returns.
That all said, he’ll probably be on some bullshit minute restriction when he does return. It’s so hard not to get frustrated with him and the team even though it’s somewhat out of his control.
This was to be expected. He wasn’t going to return straight to play in the games. Seems like they will start progressing him through the 1v1,3v3,and5v5’s (again). Hopefully we can pull through these next 2 weeks. If we can make the playoffs and get him back, it’s a whole new season mindset. This team is drastically different with him on the floor and every team should be worried about it
Pain
Itās going one of two ways. Pelicans miss the play ins all together or Pelicans become the first play in squad to go to the finals lol
Lmaoooo anyways….the goal for the rest of this season should be playing Dyson Daniels as much as possible. Feels like the team brass has already kinda thrown the towel in on Kira Lewis and definitely Jaxson Hayes, but there is no logical reason Josh Richardson should be playing more minutes than Dyson Daniels from here on out.
Wait heās cleared or not?
Did yāall think he was gonna come back and play without ramping up?
If we make the play in and Zion is back, we can beat anyone, any time. LFG!
Yeah he is out unless the Pelicans have the Play In secured before those last 3 games
​
If they get to that date out of the Play In, they will shut down him
[someone owes me spaghetti](https://www.reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans/comments/11xsjih/everyone_talking_about_zion_but_jose_is_also/jd4lw67/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3)
We need to draft a big this year Zion canāt be trusted to consistently play
I want a #2 ‘Weeks’ jersey š
All the people saying itās āoverā are flat WRONG!
Look at the standings. Weāre one game out of 7th and 1.5 games out of 6th! Give me a break!!
Even if we do start playing good and make the play in, we are going to get a bunch of idiots saying not to play him so he doesn’t mess up team chemistry
isnāt this like realistically the best news we could have hoped for on this update?
heās been cleared and will be reevaluated.
why is this whole thread negative?
Bruno caboclo: 2 years away from being 2 years away.
Zion: 2 weeks away from being 2 weeks away
Lmao
Looking at the last 10 games of the regular season. I see us winning 4 games max, and that’s me being optimistic already. Could be more if teams like denver and sac rest their guys. That’s a brutal final stretch of games.
Games i counted as wins are against hornets, blazers and clips 2x.
360 windmill dunkā¦..360 windmill dunkā¦ā¦
Take me back
Guy is always injured pretty much missed 2 years in a row smh
Bruh
Basically not playing again this year unless they make the playoffs
I want to hit the reset button on this season lol
