I’m getting more concerned that he’s not going to be back at all

No need to rush him. Finals don’t start until 13 days from now

“Some hope” not the wording I’m looking for lol

I honestly doubt he comes back gm4 I think they’re just going to play it extra safe. Knock on wood if they sweep it’ll be another 10 days before the finals. He can ramp up in practice obviously not ideal but better than rushing him back when he isn’t quite ready yet.

If the Celtics win game 3, he should 100% play game 4. He needs some game action before the finals. If the Celtics lose game 3, I actually think we should save him for game 5.

I could definitely see KP playing 20 minutes in game 4 if we’re up 3 games heading into 4.
Let him shake some rust off but if there’s any slight concern about the calf then I don’t really care if he sits until the finals.
That gives him almost 2 weeks to fully heal up and practice

Put it this way: If we win Game 3, play him only if he is 100% and needs to shake off rust. If we lose Game 3, play him even if he is at 80% because we need to make sure we put the boot on their necks. Ultimately, all of our players need the rest and the coaches need the extra time to scout the Western teams and game plan for them.

For what????? Take the extra time and get ready for the finals.

“Joe any news on Kristaps’ injury? We saw he traveled with the team.”
“Did he? I didn’t notice; haven’t really seen or heard anything about him. I guess I was just wrapped up in the in-flight movie. You guys will never guess what we watched…”

Sit him G4 too.

Redditor here. I’ve been writing comments about injured players for almost 10 years, so I have a bit of experience in these situations. They need to sit him until he’s healthy.

Celts close out the pacers in 4. Zingus will play god mode in the finals.

Has he even been practicingv

Nah, he’s travelled with the team for both series already. I would love for him to be back but his travel isn’t an indicator

I’m a weenie but I’m worried about how fast the Pacers play. Either he gets left in the dust or we possibly find out the hard way if he’s recovered or not. Or both.
