“Obviously a hard, difficult scenario, losing him for that amount of time, however we’re going to do what’s in the very best interest of Dak, and today I do not believe anybody understands whether it’ll be 4 weeks, 6 weeks or the season. We’ll simply need to continue to keep an eye on that and see where it takes us.”
