I think it's best to let Steph heal up so he can be ready for next season. Maybe they get a slightly better pick in the draft if they fall a little in the standings. I'm sure they'llplay him once he feels okay but they aren't ging to push it.
No and simply because he's 37 going to be 38 in a couple weeks. He's also making $59 million dollars. If he can play you play him if the game is rest him then it's time to move on from our HOFer and go all in for the future.
I know they aren't going to shut him down but if this issue keeps bothering him the rst of the year it might make sense. This was supposed to be a minor issue and it's been dragging on now for several games. It just sounds like the type of thing that can keep causing problems. Similar to what Pearsall went through this season. Every time he felt okay he would he would aggravate the injury again.
After thus post I was listening to a surgeon on ESPN radio. He was talking about rehab and coming back from injuries. He said that a lot of players come back soner than others from the same injury but they aren't necessarily 100%. It's possible to be healthy enough to play but that doen't mean the surgically repaired part is really as strong as it will be. He mentioned Durant and how he took longer than some players to return just to make sure he wouldn't tear that achilles again.
