Analysis:

Mirotic has taken far longer than expected to return from the appendectomy, which has now sidelined him for over a month. He's still been experiencing pain in his recent workouts, and has yet to log a full practice with the team. Once that happens, a more clearer return date for Mirotic could come forth, but it looks like he's still in line to miss several more games.
