• Return to sport: Many athletes start light training around 6 months, but full competition-level recovery often takes closer to 9-12 months to reduce the risk of re-injury.
• Rehabilitation milestones:
• 0-2 weeks: Reduce swelling, regain knee mobility
• 3-6 weeks: Strengthening exercises, light weight-bearing
• 3-6 months: Sport-specific training, agility drills
• 6-12 months: Gradual return to full activity
So, expected return around December? Tough!
Even if everyone else is healthy to start the season I don't know how they can survive given they have no backcourt. If they STILL go down this KD rabbit hole then we are going to be playing vet min point guards for a huge portion of the season.
