“He’s not going to come back too early. It’s just not going to happen. He has a timeline that says: ‘You’re not coming back until this date.’ It doesn’t matter how good you feel. We’re sticking to that. It’s his career. We’re not going to play with that, regardless of where we’re at in a playoff series. … Then he’s got to get himself to the point, hopefully, where he can come back. We don’t have clarity on that.”
