    Yesterday was the four-week mark since the injury, so it's highly plausible that they already had the MRI — which would be necessary before clearing him for full practice, I would think.

    I hope they aren't taking any chances. Bring him back slowly. We need him, but we don't need him in and out of the lineup because Clint played when he shouldn't have.

    Great news!

    Work him in slowly, start with 12-15 mins. Definitely as the starter though.

    Will be good to see the bench get a boost and the starters brought back together. Capela is easily the best rebounder on the team, and Harrell is going to be POLISHED to be somewhat of a super sub with Gordon and Dekker.

    I hope they're not rushing him back. Two straight losses might be weighing a bit much on the organization. Obviously we need Capela, and the trade deadline is weeks away.

    Thank God. Teams have been murdering us in the paint recently. I'm surprised our record is this good without him. Can't wait for some more successful lobs again also.

    Any stats wizards who can tell us how we held up in rebounding with Clint out?

    Cool. Now We can trade him for Thom Maker or a premier primary playmaker who can take the ball off Harden and limit turnovers while creating steals in Ricky Rubio

    Thank God! He's so important to this team.

    Ah I remember everyone was playing off losing Clint like it wasn't a big deal.

    I honestly didn't expect to see him till march. How often do injuries go on the low end of the projections!?

    Will be good to have him back! Stabilizes the rotation. Hope he doesn't take long to get back in the groove he was in

    They were already being overly cautious in keeping him out this long. A fibula fracture that needs an MRI to diagnose it is a bone bruise essentially. He could have pushed 2-3wks if this was the playoffs.
