No need to panic yet...as of now, it is still a calf strain and even if it's the worst case, yeah the timing is bad but not potentially career-altering. My biggest fear is that it may be possible for him to return, maybe after missing 1-2 games and then he ends up getting a worse injury like KD's achilles. And then that could be career-changing and the nightmare scenario.
Just knowing how Luka plays, he is always going to push it and take a lot of contact. If he drives inside, gets bumped, takes a bad step or two and then it could cause a major injury.
So now I'm hoping it is either very mild and will heal in a week's time or it is grade 3/whatever they are calling it and we can rule him out for the playoffs immediately. Anything in-between and it gets very risky
