Message: [QUOTE="Doctor Hoop, post: 4805995, member: 6845"] Unfortunately I have just as much insight on this as y'alls do. Based on the timeline I suspect the injury is a mild MCL sprain (though I could be wrong), but recovery after that kind of injury can range from 1-6 weeks, depending on the player and the sport. Basketball is pretty demanding. Biking is fine, knee movement is in-line and there's no impact. Cutting, planting, change of direction, jump stops will all put a lot more stress on a healing ligament. And practice is different than the games, when you need to be able to forget about the knee and just play. Leave it to the MD who, I'm sure, is examining him probably once or twice a week. They'll clear him when he's ready and with minimal re-injury risk. [/QUOTE]
