    Fortunately many times with meniscus tears, recovery can be fairly quick as surgery is often very unevasive. Of course it depends on the extent and how much meniscus they trim away if they do surgery.

    I had a torn meniscus from playing tennis when I was in my early 40s...took a couple of years before I could play tennis again..and also it's an injury that gets re-injured really easily. Messes with lateral movement more than anything...

    my wife had meniscus surgery and she was out of the hospital the same day and we went to my daughters soccer game that evening. Like any injury it depends on the severity but with knee surgeries it's often the less severe type of surgery and NBA players have access to the best rehabbing available. Heck Brandon Roy played 8 days after having meniscus surgery. I am hoping for a quick recovery for Chief as he seems to be a good guy and works hard.

    Roy's knees were shot. It wasn't any particular injury or that minor surgery he had as he basically had no meniscus left by that time in either knee. No evidence of Aminu's knees being anywhere close to being similar. My point was that he was able to play 8 days after having meniscus surgery.

    I understand but my point was, that was risky for Roy to do...I wish Chief well...time frames for recovery are what they are...stitches are still stitches which from my experience say at least 6 weeks...the Magic list him as out indefinitely

    ok, but to me 6 weeks is a very short time for a knee injury and why I said meniscus tears are commonly much quicker recovery than other knee surgeries. That's all I have really been saying as an acl or pcl surgery would likely be season ending. Last report I read is that they might go with rehabbing and rest rather than surgery so his recovery time could be shorter and seems it's not severe. I don;t know if he has had an MRI yet.

    Luka is insane. I think he is already better than LeBron.
