It does not help that this organization has a history this season of bringing guys back early in desperation and getting them injured again (AD being the biggest example). They should probably shut down AD. If they don't, he will carry a massive load when he gets back and will be in danger of another reinjury.
Yea, bringing anyone back is a risk. I am not sure I can fully explain it, but I would rather they win. If this team made the final 8 AND won a series, it would be a giant victory in my eyes. The worst case is they win 4-5 more games but do not make the play-in because the Suns win 3 more. Then no playoffs and a worse pick.
