Alijah Arenas Tears Meniscus

[Anerdyblackguy]

Meniscus isn’t an acl that’s not a out for the season injury

That’s 4-8 weeks

It’s 4-8 weeks if you remove the meniscus. It’s 8 months if you reattach and rehab it.

That being said no player who is in college or doesn’t have a second NBA contract should get it torn off. D-wade talked about how it was his worst decision.

Exactly

Repairs always recommended for younger athletes that’s 3-6 months.

Jared McCain tore his meniscus last December...he's still rehabbing

Rough couple of months for the young breh. Wishing the best for him and his mental

 

[steph_harden]

Depends on the severity and if you choose to repair or remove

Since it’s July probably not out for the season but could be a good chunk of it

Aint no way in hell they gonna remove a 17 year old kids meniscus

Thats career suicide.

They‘ll let it heal which means he’s looking at 8-12 months..

Wasn’t saying they would, just giving context to timelines

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

They have to stop overworking these kids. Their bodies aren’t fully developed yet.

Get well soon Alijah

 

[Ohene]

It’s a wrap for this kid

 

[CantStop]

probably gonna have to do a 2nd year then

he doesn't need to come out freshman year. the 2027 draft is said to be super weak too according to givony

 

[Ron Mexico]

Rough few months for him.

USC basketball constantly gets these 5 stars recruits and never has anything to show for it.

It's not an ACL, MCL heals on its own without surgery and be just like it was before.

HOWEVER

He needs to rehab intelligently and not try to rush back, then it becomes dodgy.

He genuinely could go second overall in that 27 draft. He would be fighting for the back half of the top 10 in this draft imo.

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Dam breh hope he's good.

He might needa do a 2nd year

Meniscus and MCL aren't the same, a meniscus repair(versus a shave/snip) requires surgery and a longer rehab
