Curious as to when people think he will play his first game? He obviously has not played in one preseason game yet. My thought is that they are waiting for the home opener next week, when the games count, but then I heard he may be held out until some time in November. He has been going through full practices since training camp opened, I get the feeling he is ready to go.
Yea, it'll probably be some time in November, we'll just have to suck it up for the opener without both Giannis and Jabari.
I think TC and preseason was a way for him to get his legs under him, be with the team etc. Now it's just a matter of simulating the season, a game here, back to back there, 2 days off there, just give him the battery of test for a few weeks. Simulate game action, 7 minutes there, bench here, warm up there, sprint here, simulate play conditions within a 2 and a half hour window for a week or 2. You don't want him coming back, then going down and missing time. You want him back and not thinking about it.

Key is whatever they do, they want to look to the future. This team isn't built for this year, they want to make sure that the decisions they make are for the long term.

Word is it might be on Monday.
March Madness starts in November
Jabari saw the doctor today in NYC and is cleared to play. He will make his first appearance Wednesday at the BC against Philly.
Jabari showed last night that his explosiveness is certainly back.
