If the FO thinks shutting Lopez down is gonna cost them regular season victories then they they'll rehab him and he'll play.
Lopez's absence is already being felt. The TWolves are killing the Suns on the glass.

The Arizona Republic said bulging disks. Now Suns.com says it's a herniated disk, which is more serious.
Doesn't sound good."Suns center Robin Lopez did not travel with the team to Minnesota on Saturday after an MRI on his back revealed an acute lumbar disc herniation."

If the Suns are without Robin Lopez in the playoffs, we can kiss what postseason hopes we had goodbye. 1st round exit.
Do you believe the Suns will have a slim chance to make the 2nd round even if they are with Lopéz?
they should just take the best parts from each brother and make a 2 headed lopez 7ft'er
on a serious note i hope this isnt as long term as ppl are saying thats demoralizing, for suns fans that is, spurs know how you feel we have an injury support group here at spurs talk haha
Who would of thought you would of been saying that this time last year? Or even earlier in the season.
A real shame, I've enjoyed watching the Suns since the All-Star break. All the best to him.
With Amare beasting the way he has been and their improved defense, they definitely had a shot.
The improved defense was largely because they were playing Lopez at center and trashed that small ball garbage. With lopez out Frye is now the center and the defense goes back to being ty.
OK seriously, at this point just get the guy surgery and rehab for next season. It'd be moronic to even attempt to bring him back this year. Cool, the injury derails any chance they had at a 2nd round birth. I'll take that over him playing through it and getting an injury that derails their chance at a le 5 years down the road.
taking time from my vacation to wish lopez the best and point out God hates the Suns.
Injuries happen. God doesn't hate the Suns because 1 player got injured.
Yeah but the Suns have like NEVER been healthy for the playoffs...
The curse lives on...
and a salt lake city ' you' to my buddy DoK. This airport is boring as a Spurs scrimmage.
You guys seem to be forgetting how successful this season has been regardless of Lopez' injury. Who woulda thought we would ever care about him getting injured?
Especially you DOK. You were the leader of the RL Hate Union.
Won't deny that. I still can't figure out how he suddenly started to play better.
I think it has something to do with that glass door he broke in practice... it was as if he unleashed some inner beast.
Does Pony Tail get extra run with Lopez out? He brings good energy.
Ponytail and Channing "I have a girl's name because I play like a girl" Frye probably pick up the majority of Lopez's minutes. I like the interior defense Collins has played this year when in but he doesn't fit in well with the starters at all.
Ponytail should be starting alongside Amare, with Lopez out. Frye is an effective bench player, and doesn't have the rebounding skills to make it in a starting lineup.
I think Ponytail has earned the right to play big minutes for us while RoLo rehabs.
