From the episode

he had not just a simple ACL reconstruction. He also had his lateral meniscus repaired, too, which kind of delays things in the first place anyways... a cyclops lesion... a massive tissue that can prevent the knee from fully straightening... that's going to add on at least a couple of weeks... adds about one to two weeks to get to some of the range of motion goals back... there is normally at least the first year following a production dip.

Nabers underwent not just a simple ACL reconstruction but also had his lateral meniscus repaired, plus a cyclops lesion cleanup procedure that adds 1-2 weeks to recovery. Research indicates he will likely experience a production dip in his first year back, and he'll need to be ramped up throughout the season even if he returns early.
