Potentially trying to make the Gio injury seem less serious could absolutely have to do with negotiating positions leading up to deadline day.
It could also have to do with the team's mindset. A lot easier to get a young group to rally and believe they can win a few games without their captain and best player then get them to believe they can succeed in a playoff push from now until the end of the year with out him. Always keep them thinking that maybe they only have to get through just one more game with out him, that could be the best thing for them.
Or maybe, Gio simply is day to day.
