This is a revised post, there was 4 games missing without Dame last time, but they are in there now. thanks u/mavethegreat for catching that
In regards to the last column with Dame playing with or through injury, he left the Miami game on 10/26 and suited back up for the Miami game on 11/7 earlier than expected. He played the next game and then was inactive again for the Pelicans game on 11/10/22.
Dame then played the next 4 games before injuring the same calf. While the injury was noted as a different area of the calf, I find it safe to assume he wasn’t completely right and an overcompensation probably caused him to go back on injured status after taking an early exit from the Utah game on 11/19. It’s also apparent when you look at his stats which I attached on page 2, he has a spike in assists for that 4 game stretch and his shooting numbers are far below his average.
If you believe he was %100 healthy during those games, fine I added page 3 for you

In the 10 *fully healthy* games Dame’s played so basically excluding the Novemeber games were he rushed back from the first calf injury that wasn’t fully healed. This is including the Miami game he got injured but he start the game hobbled. We have an 8-2 record
And Dame has put up
32.7/4.2/6.0
51.2/45.8/95.7 splits
On a blistering 70.67 ts%
Are these stats cherry picked yes, but fully healthy Dame has been MVP caliber.
