Impact Multiple reports suggested that McConnell would be sidelined for an extended period when he underwent surgery on the wrist in early December, so his continued absence and lack of a clear return timeline nearly two and a half months after the procedure doesn't come as a major surprise. While the fact that McConnell has shed his cast is seemingly a step in the right direction, the 29-year-old looks as though he's at least a week or more away from resuming on-court work. With McConnell out indefinitely and Malcolm Brogdon's lingering Achilles injury making him a potential shutdown candidate, Tyrese Haliburton could end up seeing extensive run at point guard throughout the second half of the season.
