Where did you see this report?
I mean, she is Luka's mom, maybe she visited Luka and overheard the doctor report?

KP told Luka -> Luka told his girl friend -> his gf told his mom -> his mom told us

Seems like we should be able to get more news out of that pipe line

He's been ruled out again for the 10th straight game.

More bad news. When he comes back I really hope he plays the full rest of the season and off season. I also hope he plays at least a total of 70 games this season. To me, that’s about the liability threshold.

I wish Luka's mom would talk to me.

One of 3 things could be happening with KP. 

1) Injured his knee with the Lakers. The hypertension of the knee was worse than expected.

2) Load management, he was not supposed to play every b2b game, and this could be the time they are taking him out using a related injury and illness as an excuse. 

3) No one knows what is really going on and they are just playing it safe. No one wants a repeat of his ACL on his right knee. Hes been favoring that knee since hes returned, that leg has been favored and that could be the reason why they are very cautious when hes experiencing pain/soreness. 

I personally lean towards to number 3.

Your SO does not agree.

I was concerned, but Zinger looked chipper on the bench and didn’t seem worried at all. He’ll be ok I think. When he’s back, he doesn’t need to play 36 minutes per. The other bigs have shown they can carry the load. Zinger will probably never be an all star again, but he’ll be solid, and combined with the improved THJ, the Mavs killed that trade, especially if they flip Lee for a good player.

We need KP's defense. I don't think a top 3 spot is out of reach at all if the Mavs stay healthy and shore up a couple holes at the TDL.

Hyperextending a knee is not a minor thing.  There are still tears in ligaments just not large enough to require surgery.  Also having had acl surgery myself you tend to favor the other leg.  That’s why it’s important to not only get back but to be able to trust the body.  If it takes longer so be it.

Minutes restriction again when he gets back? I'd say he needs to settle into a 30 mpg average unless he can get his body prepared to meet the physical requirements to do more. That's:

1stQ - 8 mins to start
2ndQ - 6 mins to end
3rdQ - 8 mins to start
4thQ - 8 mins to end
