"Recovery time from a meniscus tear depends on how extensive the injury is and whether it needs surgery, said Dr. Mark Drakos, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
“There are certain guys that have gotten back in a couple weeks and there’s other people... that take more like three or four months,” Drakos, who wasn’t involved in the new study, told Reuters Health."

We knew that we wouldn't have the same injury luck we did last year, but this is just getting ridiculous.

Iwundu...
his injury blows tbh, no matter how we are using Aminu on offense.
Any chance we put Okeke on the table now?
Also, more minutes for Bamba, I suppose.
good thing we have our 1st round pick this year with a lot of scorers/guards.

That's the way to do it if you want to make money and not really play basketball anymore!

Could actually be more on the table now, losing more depth takes away our playoff challenge. Gordon has value, and Vucevic will never have more value, now is a good a time as ever to move them. If Ross can find his shot again he could be moved at the deadline and we could have a lot of assets to go back again next season quite quickly

Not going to happen with this front office.

I never encourage an injury on any player but this is not big loss. Aminu has been awful. Aside from decent defender he hurts the team more by being out there. This was a horrible signing. See him being traded before the contract is up.

This sounds like the same speculation that some of the fans on this board had about Fultz in the summer.
It's possible the guy's knee has been part of the reason he's struggled. He'll probably be closer to the player we thought we were getting when he comes back.

Another hit to the depth chart, but won't be missed on the court.

not gonna happen, maybe one(AG) but never all three....that would most definitely signal a tank and thats a tough sell to the fans and season ticket holders.

So hows the draft looking?

So many injuries. Hoping Fultz and Isaac remain healthy. But this is a pretty bad year in terms of injury.

Considering this was the worst year of Aminu's career offensively by a pretty wide margin, it makes you wonder if this injury happened in the last game or if it's something that's been bothering him for a while.
Curious what Clifford does in the rotation now. I'd imagine it will look more like last year with Gordon playing backup PF when he's not in at SF and Iwundu playing more.
