God damn. What a story. That must have been terrible. Did you feel like your knee wouldn't last?
Any lingering effects?

This would be a meniscus injury. Anytime the knee goes the wrong way you're looking at a possible meniscus tear.

KD's MRI results will be released on March 1st. 3-1. 
At the time, I was 19 and felt indestructable, so I thought I'd just get the surgery and rehab and it would all go fine.
First off, there was a problem with medical insurance forms and other bullshyt, and I ended up with a damn brace and on crutches for 7 weeks before I got doctor's okay to remove it (should have been more like 4-5).
It took about 6 months to rehab enough that I felt like playing pickup basketball again. I chose to leave college football for other reasons (spiritual stuff and new priorities), but I don't think my knee was really good enough to have played the next season anyway.
I was playing club basketball just fine by the next year (and had the best shooting of my life after all the shooting time in the gym alone when I couldn't play), but I re-damaged the menicus in one game, tried to come back after a few weeks with a brace on and finished the game but it swelled up like a mofo, had to sit out 3 months before I could play again.
Besides that I was basically able to keep playing basketball, work out with long-distance running, play pick-up football against easy competition, etc. from the ages of 20 to 28. But around 28, the cumulative damage to the cartilage (due to missing part of my meniscus that was removed from the surgery) was too much, my knee would swell every time I played and I'd limp the next day, and so I decided for the long-term health of my knee that I had to give up bball.
Within a year I had to give up running too, and just find non-impact ways to work out.
Even without those things, my knee still gives me problems from time to time. My doctors said I might have arthritis of the knee by 40 and eventually have to get a knee replacement.
Last month I played some 3-on-3 for the first time in at least 5 years. It went okay, even though I was rusty as hell. The next day I went back and played 1-on-1 with a small shifty Filipino guy who forced me to move a lot laterally. My knee started killing me afterwards, and ended up being swollen and stiff for nearly two weeks.
That's football for you, man.
p.s. - all the shyt with the meniscus that goes on for me is pretty much the same shyt that has plagued Wade's career, it's just that he has better doctors and treatment than I've ever had access to.

If dude makes it back before the play-offs and the Warriors are no longer in 1st place, they have to run the gauntlet against good teams earlier. If they somehow land the 4th seed, they'll probably see San Antonio in round 2. If they get past them, it can be against Houston/Utah/Clips in the WCF. It's a long shot, but they actually may get an easier team and be more rested going into the Finals.
