It doesn't sound like Holden's injury is as bad as Gagner's. I know people don't like it, but the League will almost always take into account the severity of an injury when suspending a player.
Injury is explicitly listed in the CBA as an aggravating factor in supplemental discipline.


Also, I really hope people crying and demanding 20 game suspensions for any infraction doesn't become a thing. It's just tedious whining.
