They&#8217;ll probably give me a protocol of four to six weeks that I&#8217;ll be out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;This is from my experience being around the NBA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He added: &#8220;After that, I&#8217;m going to work my butt off to come back.
