Thought somebody was trolling on Twitter

I legit thought that this was fake, and that maybe this thread was bumped from last year. Instead all the notifications started blowing up my phone and NBA TV had a moment of silence

Those patients with minor medial meniscus tears that are managed conservatively can usually expect to return to sport or activity in approximately 2 - 4 weeks. For moderate tears that are managed conservatively return to sport or activity may take 4 - 6 weeks or longer.

Minor medial meniscus tears that are managed surgically can sometimes return to sport or activity within 4 – 6 weeks, although most surgical repairs (especially when the meniscus tear is moderate to severe) will usually require a rehabilitation period of 6 - 8 weeks or longer. If there is damage to other structures in the knee, such as the anterior cruciate ligament, rehabilitation may require an extended period. It is important that medial meniscus injuries are managed appropriately, as inappropriate treatment may lead to the development of early knee osteoarthritis.

Seems like he could back just in time or during the playoffs in assuming it is a minor tear
