I thought he was supposed to just be out like 6 weeks? Huh maybe I’m wrong.

the 2nd MRI on January 8 confirmed a "knee injury"....I can't recall the Blazers ever saying exactly what it was. They said he would be re-evaluated in a month, so that evaluation would happen in the 1st of 2nd week of February.

it's beginning to look like neither one of Nurkic or Skal will make an appearance before the all-star break

Pretty much what I was thinking. Feb 21.

seems like quite a bit of time between now and then, almost a month, although it's only about 3 weeks till the last game before the break

I remember 3 or 4 posters here arguing they thought Nurk would be back sometime in December. Might miss that by 2 months
 
Portland's 26 games schedule after the all-star break is really easy.

* 11 road & 15 home games

* 10 of their first 14 games after the break are at home

* only 9 of 26 games are against teams with winning records, and 5 of those are at home

so, if they can get Nurk and Skal back shortly after the break they are set up to win a lot of games. The issue is how deep a hole will they be in and if Portland still has Whiteside. My guess is it's going to be a pretty deep hole and that they won't trade Whiteside

A left knee articular cartilage lesion...the same injury Oden had before he underwent microscopic surgery

My fear is Blazers PR pushing out Nurk news to counteract Neil’s financially motivated trades..

Nothing has changed... Nurk was expected to come back after all star break. I find it funny that all the Blazers media is hyping his practice after Neil makes a cost cutting trade with one of the expiring contracts that he was hyping as an asset. Feels like a distraction to Neil’s failure...

it's been 2.5 months since his surgery, so it doesn't seem surprising he can shoot a basketball at this point in time. Last I heard, he was "hopeful" to start practicing in March. He is scheduled was for a re-evaluation in March...might happen a little earlier, but there isn't much clarity on that.

I think they just said a week or two ago that he was actually going to be practicing around the All-Star break and would be back in March if all goes well. There was even some hint of optimism that he might be ahead of schedule. I doubt that means they'd let him play sooner than the 4 months though.

Gotta love the NBA H&P teams and the level of care they get. When I dislocated my shoulder, I could barely lift my arm for 6 months without pain. Maybe I shoulda opted for surgery.
