Luka’s COVID-19 absence could have helpful byproduct

If you’re looking for a silver lining during all the COVID-19 drama, it might come from Luka Donu010diu0107.

He still hasn’t cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols, but the good news about that is that his other physical problems have had an extra week to 10 days to heal.

Remember, the superstar point guard was set to come back against Milwaukee last week after missing five games while recovering from left foot and ankle problems.

Then the positive test came and that changed everything. But for a player who logs as many minutes as Donu010diu0107 does, the extra time off may pay dividends when he returns, as well as in the long run.
