re: Tua’s Knee UPDATE

And there are different grades of tears. The ACL is a very thick ligament and people can have small tears of it and be fine. I really dont think its ACL, but its possible. Meniscus is much more likely and its easier to tear. The way he pulled up in the game is much more characteristic of meniscus injury too, because when it tears, the torn portion can flip into and out of the joint space, and when it flips into the joint it causes the knee to lock up and can be very painful.
