Not being back to 100% from his ACL will do that. It seems (anecdotally, at least) that most players take 2 years to get back to full potential from ACL injuries. They can usually play after that first year but it takes another year or so (depending on the individual) to get his mobility and burst back to full functionality.
It's not like you push a button and immediately you're fully back. Full recovery takes time even after you're cleared to play.
Also, time lost in 2022 due to lil sis having an 18 month battle with cancer which she unfortunately lost.
