This is what happens when you have an unnecessary 82 game season. Players have absolutely no time to rest up and heal and they're forced to risk injury in meaningless exhibitions games.

And now one of the league's brightest and most marketable stars is in all likelihood finished. This is gonna be TWO of his prime years wasted now and god knows what kinda of player he's gonna be when he's ready to return. And not only that think of all the great basketball we've just been robbed of. One less team to compete in the east and stand in Miami's way.

maybe if he danced, he could've kept his knees properly stretched and would've stayed healthy like :troll:

The tear was in the worst possible place (near the center of the knee) and estimates were really based on the average tear (which is on the sides of the kneecap). D Rose tear is likely to leave his knee bone on bone if he doesn't to the max rehab, which is moot because bone on bone will eventually happen to his knee anyway at some point.


Thanks for the clarity.

I thought it was if he got the meniscus removed, he could be back in a few weeks, but if he got it reattached he would be back in 4 to 6 months - 4 months meaning he can come back in time for the playoffs?

nah, the short return was a shaving technique of the meniscus, there is a real risk of further permanent damage. No one tearing a meniscus and coming back in a few weeks at 100%
