Serge Ibaka: (Knee) Intends To Return In 3-To-4 Weeks

Ibaka intends to return in 3-to-4 weeks from knee surgery rather than the 4-to-6 weeks that accompanies his recovery, The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Ibaka's view is rather optimistic considering he underwent the procedure to alleviate soreness in his right knee only Tuesday. A better indicator will arrive upon his return to practice, but it's unclear at this time when that will occur. In the meantime, expect Steven Adams and Enes Kanter to hold down the starting frontcourt, with Mitch McGary and Nick Collison manning the reserves.
