This means he can miss 4 more games and still qualify for awards. Still a bit of a longshot, but it’s something
I think this b2b tomorrow and Friday will be very revealing for how they’re going to handle this. Normally I think a player coming back from injury like this would play in one and sit out the other, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he just played the 20 minute minimum in both of them.
