Was it MCL, ACL?? I know it’s a ligament tear.

Regarding his return, what are the realistic expectations… Is he done?

    The “realistic” hope, was/is that - Now that he has a season to get right - He can play maybe 60-70 games, maybe 20 MPG’s, for the next/last two years of his contract.

    The early reports were there was a short term fix and a long term solution. Robert+the team went with the season ending surgery. Personally I am glad they shut him down for the year to get him right. Not going to tell anyone how to fan but I would prefer the team go for as many ping pong lottery balls as possible the next two seasons then make a run at things and see where they stand.

      What does his contract length have to do with anything?

    I think so tbh, at least done in the sense he’s never going to play a healthy season.

    He’s played 6 years and he’s averaging 35 games a season lol.

    If this was his first injury, that would be one thing. Given that this is a reccuring problem, I think it safe to write him off as ever being an asset to the team.

    I feel sorry for the guy, but the blunt truth is that we got hosed by the Celtics in this deal. Jrue is a very valuable player, whereas Williams is dead weight and we would be lucky to flip Brogdan for a couple of 2nd round picks. It is absurd to think this was the best deal on the table for a player as valuable as Jrue.
