6-8 weeks. Honestly, it may be tough to crack the lineup by then. Roles better be figured out.

Well, that escalated quickly

This isn't bad...I like Ryan but with our other players back his minutes were going away. If Hawkins isn't finding minutes, I doubt Ryan would.

As far as Zion goes, if it were more than a tweak he would be declared out....by now he has had scans. I'm sure he will be rested against the Wizards and possibly against Charlotte as well

I’m not sure I agree with that. We haven’t seen Hawkins because the Lakers was a nationally spotlighted semi-finals tournament game and the Wolves were the #1 team in the West. I think Willie sat him because he’s a rookie. I think Matt Ryan was playing well enough for us to use him off the bench in both games.

Possibly but there are plenty teams far worse off than we are. Losing Matt Ryan shouldn't be the difference in how our season goes. If it is, then we don't have a very good team

He needs to play vs cha

He needs to play vs cha

If his ankle is at all sore, he won't play...too much risk of making it worse with his size and explosiveness
