Is he good to go?

not sure if it's confirmed, but it looks like the issue is a bone bruise, which takes more than a few weeks to heal. They're probably going to rest him as much as possible then start treating the inflammation. He'll be able to play but it's not without risk and will be managing pain.
 
I'm gonna be really surprised if he gives us anything these playoffs. But if he does....Lenny....you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.

Much more of a coincidence than I first posted....

In 1983, Black Sabbath put out an album called "Born Again", which had an instrumental called "Stonehenge." For that tour, the set was going to include a reproduction of Stonehenge, but they screwed up feet and meters. So instead of having a Stonehenge that was 15 feet high, it was 15 meters high and wouldn't fit in any of the venues. They didn't even have anyone named Nigel in the band at the time, so they didn't really have an excuse.

Now, you'd think that this incident must have been the inspiration for Spinal Tap's Stonehenge bit. But you'd be wrong.

The truth is that Spinal Tap was being pitched by Rob Reiner in 1981-82, and they shot a 20 minute version that included the Stonehenge bit - dwarfs and all -- in that pitch. But the Sabbath song didn't even come out until 1983, and the issue with the props being too big didn't happen until October 1983. So even though This is Spinal Tap came out early in 1984 after that Black Sabbath Tour incident, Spinal Tap had filmed their Stonehenge bit 2 years before Sabbath did it in real life, by accident.

The Real Life Connection Between The Spinal Tap Stonehenge Scene And Black Sabbath

Here's everything you need to know about the infamous Spinal Tap Stonehenge scene from the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap.

I didn't believe that could possible be true, but sure enough, the original Spinal Tap pitch clip from 1982 is actually online right here. The guys are younger, different haircuts, etc. Stonehenge begins at about 4:20:


Here's an interview with Ian Gillan, who was Sabbath's vocalist at the time, talking about the first show of their tour where they did manage to get their oversized Stonehenge inside. What actually happened to them might be even funnier than Spinal Tap..."and that was the end of the dwarf".

You can tell everyone on this team LOVES Okoro. Check the highlights and keep an eye on the Cavs bench after every play Okoro makes. They go nuts. You can tell they are rooting for him as much as we are.

If we get matched up with a team in the playoffs who has a star guard, I could see Okoro being one of our most important players for that series. He's that much of a difference maker on the defensive end.

From February... I can still see it. If he does a good job on Brunson, that elevates his importance right to the top of the list. Glad to see he's good to go for Game 1.
