I assume this means abuout one year of recovery’s but he should be back 100% next year in the NBA?

Hope he has a 100% recovery and makes $$$ in the NBA. ACL’s aren’t that problematic if in the right surgeons hands. And Andrews is the best in the business...

Some new procedures are cutting the rehab time in half. I guess it depends on how bad it was but generally in the past it was 8-12 months.

He was starting to get lottery pick talk but wasn't quiet there yet. He may have to return to Auburn and prove himself again to scouts.

I know some of you guys are young so I’ll show you how much ACL injuries and surgery has evolved.

In the 1996-97 season, Derek Anderson from Kentucky tore his AC L vs Auburn in mid-late January. He had surgery, and by the time the NCAA tourney came around...he was dressed and shot technical free throws for the team. He was still a lottery pick in 1997 and played 11 seasons in the NBA, but him getting hurt probably cost Kentucky a 3-peat.

So I think Chuma will be fine. He was becoming a star, I hate it ended like this.
