    At first I thought it was his sometimes " I can't make a shot and I'm tired and in pain so I'll sit the 2nd half" injury but it might a more serious one here .

    A bit worried here

    I imagine he at least misses until after the break, if nothing less for precaution

    Now that Reaves is back let him sit a few games and come back after the all star break. Yes we may drop some games but better safe than sorry.

    Yeah, next 4 before the break are Warriors (no Curry), Thunder, Spurs (b2b) and Mavs. We should be able to win the Warriors and Mavs games without Luka.

    Officially it’s not being called an injury, just a sore hamstring. He will probably sit out a couple of games, and with AR back I think we should be fine. Still, in this tight Western Conference race we really cannot afford to drop too many games... maybe go .500 in the next 4, IMO (better safe than sorry, right)?

    only Spurs is questionable
    other 3 games should be blowout wins

    I just realized OKC has multiple guys out, including SGA and their best defenders? OK, we could probably go .750 without Luka. Without having to worry about Caruso and Dort, AR should feast.
