I don't think people understand how much we need him. I hope he can come back and pick up where he left off cuz we missed that in the playoffs last year.
They easily win the Miami game and the Denver game would've been a hell of a lot closer if not a win for us. Dmo dominated Faried and the Nuggets last season.

It want be... It's going to take him at least 2 years to get back to even close to where he was... Back injuries are no joke and they have taken down some of the best athletes. T_Man
Nov 21st? to come back to play or practice? He's not even cleared for practice yet. I think he needs another week or two rehabbing...then non-contact practice for a week or two, and then finally practice...at least. So I'd be surprised if he came back this month to play.
From what I understand, they are doing it like they did with Arian Foster, where they are waiting for him to be nearly 100% before they clear him. He's already cleared for basketball activities and has been for quite a while so I don't think it'll take very long after he's cleared for him to be on the court. He probably won't go straight into the starting lineup though, he'll probably play himself into shape over a week or two.
I'm not sure what you're saying here...after he's cleared to practice it won't be too long until he's playing in actual games? Although he's been doing some basketball activities, i think they all have been under pretty tight control on the court inside the locker room. He still has to move on to activities on the actual basketball court, then with contact, and finally practicing without limitations. That should take up the rest of the month, unless he's ready to move to the next step now.
Bobby is just making stuff up , he said Dmo was going to be ready for training camp , then when it was apparent that he wasn't he changed the narrative to being ready for the season opener . He doesn't know any more than anyone else here .
Insider Info: expected return date is around or just after Christmas...my bet is on the latter, but [insert frog drinking tea...]
