This is not a good injury. An ACL is never good, but that would have been better than a ruptured patellar tendon. A basketball player relies a lot on this tendon when doing anything...running, jumping, etc. Not to mention that the surgical repair is tricky and can lead to a very slow, drawn-out recovery. Unfortunately with his history of knee problems, the best case scenario means he will have knee problems for the rest of his life. Worst case, this could be career-ending and leave him with life-long problems. Hopefully things work out for him, but this type of injury means he already had a lot of problems before Wednesday's game.
