Is Luka playing tonight?

I don’t think he will play tonight even if he is able to play. I’m almost positive they are thinking about shutting him down for the season. I think the Denver game and the Utah game are being used to see what the mags can do without Luka. Last night showed me enough that this team is in no need to make the playoffs to get knocked out in four games. The value we get from the playoff experience is not more than the 4th pick of this weak draft class. If we are not competitive against Utah Luka will be sidelined with a faux injury for the rest of the season. Right now we have maybe 5 player not named Luka who will be on the team next year and one of those players is hurt for the season JJ. We have no reason to push for the playoffs. This team is not next year teams and next will look nothing like this one.
