It's weird because you've started from a proposition based on nothing.
It's very easy to understand if you simply just accept that he's injured.
Thing is, they keep changing what they are saying. His road to recovery continues to change.
- October 1 he gets a "very mild" ankle injury. Doesn't use boot or crutches.
* Coach says he isn't worried about cade missing the preseason opener, which is a home game.
* Cade misses the preseason opener on Oct. 6, misses the entire preseason
- Oct. 17 casey says cade is on course to play in the season opener (a home game)
- Oct. 19 cade is ruled out for the season opener
- Oct. 20 Weaver says that cade is out for the road trip but they hope to have him back for their next home game
I have also heard Cade and his agent has not been sharing info in regards to Cade with the team. He is currently not with the team.
There are a lot of options, but obviously there is very obvious lack of transparency coming from many directions.
Following the data it also seems like the organization do not want to lose on ticket sales, so they continually say that he will be back at certain date and continue to postpone. NBA doctors know timelines. It's not that hard.
Anyways, it could be a part of it, or all of it. I just don't think we have the whole picture.
