Dante's return: mid- to late March per Dennis

[LifeOnaPlate]

On 1280 Dennis Lindsay reports Exum is on track for March!

 

[Hekate]

Awesome!

 

[Rubashov]

Superb

 

[Keefe]

Boner.

Yeah, I was hoping for right after the All Star game, or at latest early March.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Ok

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Kind of a bummer when there were talks of him coming back post all-star break.

 

[The Midnight]

WOW

 

[Bodhi]

Yeah, mid-late March is pretty difficult to work him into the lineup if they are fighting for a playoff spot. Was hoping for after AS break as well.

 

[JazzyFresh]

Yup, excited to get him back but the timing seems a little pointless if we are still in the playoff hunt.

Healthy strong legs that late in the season might be just what the Jazz need.Lets remember he has lots of court time playing with Gobert ,Favors,and Ingles.If they do make the playoffs (they will) then you want Exum and Jazz nsync with each other again.

That will be post all-star break. That was my complaint with the statement initially — next season is post all-star break.

10 bucks says early March

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Hopefully we can get him into game shape before the playoffs.

Hey there big spender...

I agree. If DL says mid-to-late-March, then I figure Exum will be back a week or two earlier. DL likes to hedge.

Also, DL said Exum passed his physical, which ought to mean he is cleared to play. Granted, the trainers may want to give him more time just to be sure, but another month? Really?

I keep forgetting that getting Dante back would be similar to acquiring a new player. It'll definitely be great to get him back, but he better be nearly 100% healthy and not rushed.

there's a difference between healthy and game shape. dude hasn't played for half a year, give him a little time to get back to speed.

also, was it really 1320? are they even still around?

I don't think anyone expects him to play 25-30 minutes a game for quite a while. 7-10 minutes seems doable to help get him back into game shape.
