Redick suffered a heel injury on March 3. He has not played since. He had a non-surgical procedure on the heel on March 11. He is re-habbing the heel now. There is no timetable for his return.
No player involved in a trade can suit up for his new team until the trade has become final with respect to all players involved (all physicals completed or waived). Melli has dressed already. There is no report of Redick presenting himself for a physical exam. It appears that the Mavs must have waived his physical. However, I have not seen a specific announcement that Dallas did or did not waive the physical, so if anyone has, feel free to let us know.
Will try to get back if I hear additional facts.
Thank you for the feedback. But I think you have blinders on and are talking past me, when you are looking for info to answer questions I am not asking.
I think you are being too pedantic on the idea of waiving the physical. Whether Redick was asked to come to Dallas and take a physical or have one done in NO, or none was done at all, that's not my point.
The point is that the Mavs had an opportunity after the trade was NBA approved to take a closer look at the medical issues. To do so does not require them to bring him in for an actual physical, although that is the norm (and certainly would be needed had they decided to object to the deal). The fact that he came injured didn't negate that opportunity, because the extent and prognosis are important parts of the equation.
Also, obviously they did look closer, and they did discover he wasn't as advertised. If they felt the need, they could have taken more steps to void the deal, or extract concessions. Instead, they said, "It's okay. Not what we thought, but we're good."
You are focused on whether Redick actually went somewhere for a physical. But that was never my point - which was instead about the fact that the Mavs had the right to push back on the deal on discovering those medical issues were somewhat more of a setback than they thought (which were found right away, apparently), but instead chose not to. Or, they stupidly said "He's fine with us" before taking any sort of a look at all, which doesn't make any sense.
Also, I've not been saying anything is still pending. Clearly they have approved the deal and moved on.
