It does make some difficulty for Utah, in order to prepare the gameplan, not to know what will happen. Three options: i) Top Luka offense; ii) Limping/injured Luka offense; iii) SD and Brunson offense. The three options have 3 different game plans. It might be that Luka is fully fine for game one, but they don't want to announce it. It does bring some small, albeit maybe not huge, advantage to game one, and that the boot is also just precaution to be on the safe side. At least, that's my wishful thinking. Luka if anyone, has shown to play through injuries as good as anyone previously. He is tough.
