Problem with bone bruises and how long they take to heal depend on the size of the bruise and the area it's in.
The common timeline is around 1-2 months. But depending on the size those timelines can be extended. The way KP already came out and said he'd be back soon makes me err on the side of optimism. It'll be 2 weeks this Saturday when his supposed injury happened. All-star break is the week after next. Perhaps the Mavs just plan to keep him out the rest of this week and next. Would basically give him 5-6 weeks of unbothered rest which should be more than enough for a bone bruise. That's an ultra cautious approach though. Hopefully he can come back sooner than later.
