There is no question in my mind that Mo does not want to expose himself to any danger.”
He proceeded by saying:
“It seems promising. He has made some progress, but we will have to see. I hope that he will be able to participate in the weekend games. Or at the very least be on the bench so that we may bring him in. But if this is not possible. We will have to deal with the situation as it arises. I cannot say 100 percent .”
