I remember 2 playoffs ago, Richard Jefferson suffered a similar injury, and since it was the playoffs, he continued to play, but never put up the same numbers and was limping throughout the Miami series. He came back presumably at full strength in 06-07, but by January he opted to have ankle surgery and was out for 6 weeks...hopefully Dirk is 100% before coming back.

Yes I recall that so well. RJ was not even 50% of his normal healthy self.
Although I hope that Dirk comes back soon, I also hope he will take the careful and thorough road to recovery. Lingering injuries as a result of hastened recovery is not something he would like to have in his career. Most people here have said that Dirk recovers well and faster than most. I really hope thats the case here.
