If they come back in the 4-5 week window, that would put them back in the rotation for the Thanksgiving Tournament. As statement games go, that’s the first opportunity for those types of wins, IMHO.
Different teams respond in different ways to injuries to key players. Last years team clearly missed Lucas. But the year before both Custer and Richardson were out for a significant time, which allowed for some good minutes and experience for the younger guys. If memory serves, that experience paid off pretty well at the end of that year.
