You can bet on two things:

1) Von Wafer will play, as they say, balls to the walls for the next 3 weeks, because every minute he has is a minute Delonte would've had

2) Delonte will watch every second of it, and will work harder for it, because he knows every minute Von Wafer plays, is a minute he would've, if he were healthy.

TP to Shak for the update.

Totally agree! That's a win win for the Cs... they will push each other to be/get better! May the best man/Cs win!!

So what does this mean? 3 weeks of rehab then how long until he is cleared to play? Should we expect him in 3 or 4 weeks? Or more like the ASB?

Either way, he seems in good spirits and should be back before long.

I'm thinking 3 or less b/c DW WANTS so much, to be back and help the team. That is the type of guy I like, there seems to be a lot of guys like that on this team!

I thought Ainge said late Feb seemed more about right?

Also Delonte would probably play against SA if we allowed him no need to rush him back in a few weeks.

We should bring him back ASAP so that he has time to heal from his next injury before the playoffs start.

I don't see what the problem is with bringing Delonte in as the point off the bench and keeping Wafer as the shooting guard. Thus allowing both guys to play together.

Nate Robinson doesn't impress me at all, and this is not springing from his more recent struggles. I've never been a fan of his play. West and Wafer off the bench would be much better.

To go along with Kung Powe Chicken's post and to add to Indeed's, Nate will be playing the next 3 weeks to prove he belongs in the rotation as well. Right now to me it is a 3 man race for 2 spots and Nate has been outright awful for weeks now. Wafer has really surprised me with his defense and energy.
