Injuries are an unfortunate reality in sports, and the NBA is no different. However, 'load management' introduced a unique problem for the Association that is less prominent across other leagues. And the NBA's policies around transparency and injury disclosure are inconsistent, to say the least. Still, those playing fantasy basketball have to navigate daily through ambiguous injury designations and last-minute absences.
Doing some back-of-the-envelope math based on the Timberwolves schedule, the short end of KAT's timeline has him missing 13 games with a potential return versus the Heat on December 26. That seems too early, so if KAT is looking at a six-week absence, he'll miss about 20 games with a reasonable return date around January 9.
The good news is that Bane shed his boot, but the three-week mark for re-evaluation passed five days ago, and the latest information from Grizzlies HC Taylor Jenkins is not ideal:He also said Ziaire Williams had his first 5 on 5 exposure today. “He’ll be on the court soon.”I did some additional research because the lack of details surrounding Bane's injury has me concerned.
. Turf toe typically has a recovery period of 4-6 weeks, so if that is indeed Bane's injury, and assuming he's healing properly, we should expect to see him return on December 23 versus the Suns or on December 25 versus the Warriors.
