So an ACL tear is not the death sentence to a career as it was maybe even as little as 5 years ago. New rehab strategies and surgical procedures have really helped athletes bounce back.
But one thing you cannot get around is the time to recover. Kyrie is going to be out at a minimum till December. Most likely a February return if he rehabs well and takes the time to get into game shape.
Now, it depends on the severity of the tear and the location of it. There is a chance that Kyrie won’t be back until summer of next year if he has multiple complications like an avulsion fracture or other similar complications. We saw that with Lonzo Ball for example.
I feel for Kyrie. I never would’ve thought he’d be such an incredible leader when he was traded here. I hope he has an easy recovery.
