    2 years off has me doubtful he can return to form, but that just means I will be pleasantly surprised if he does. Good guy to have on the team again regardless.

    Realistically, he was always going to come off the bench. I do think he will be given a real chance to crack the rotation, but, like others have said, two years is a long time.. We will see.

    Agreed. Luc is a at very least a roster improvement, better 3P shooter, younger (33 vs. 36) and taller (6'8 vs. 6'6) than Thabo.

    So there is that.

    Luc Mbah Moute is still Faster than Centers in Todays NBA. I think he should play Backup Center. In the last 5 minutes left in the Game

    PG Russell Westbrook
    SG James Harden
    SF Robert Covington
    PF P.J. Tucker
    C Luc Mbah Moute

    Although he only played one season for us, he is one of my all-time players. Glad to see him back.

    wasn't Luc's problems all on back and shoulder? wouldn't most people think this as being an easier problem to deal w/ than lower-body injuries?

    just wondering. it'd be great to see him out there contributing, he was so good for us.

    Luc had a knee injury last year with the Clippers which is what put him out of action.

    If Luc returns to 80% peak Rocket form we are a legit contender.

    Exactly. It's an upgrade if he stays healthy.

    Can the NBA clear a player before they arrive in Orlando? Now I'm confused.

    He’s cleared to get into the bubble based on pre set standards (guys like Bledsoe haven’t been cleared to enter the bubble as an exampe) but he’ll still need to quarantine for 24-48 hrs and pass the tests, so he can be released in the actual bubble to practice/play games etc

    Need to test negative before heading to bubble then quarantined for 48 hours and test negative during quarantine before allowed to leave hotel room.

    Such great news about Prince Luc! If he’s healthy and in decent shape, Luc can be a difference maker.
