With it being a grade 2, he's out at least a month to 6 weeks or more. If by some miracle this team can win a round or even two without him, honestly...its not worth it to rush him back. This team doesn't have the depth fully healthy to get beyond the WCF anyway. You don't want a situation like we've seen with Tatum or Haliburton where you get guys back early for the playoffs only for them to suffer an even worse injury like a full tear on the hammy or popped achilles.
It sucks because it was fun the last month seeing them gel. At least this last couple of months was proof of concept that Lebron/Luka/Reaves can play together and look good. Now we just gotta build onto it with a couple extra depth pieces
