MCL or ACL? Isn't that a huge difference in recovery time?

May be both, but i can almost see his MCL retract or something. I have torn my MCL before. Look at the shockwave on the inner knee.

At least he just signed that extension. Good timing for him

I hate injuries like that happen to any player or any team. Fans are losing.

Yes, he will be out the season. I hate seeing that but happy for him that he signed his extension.
Sry to the Orlando fans.

Definitely an ACL at minimum. Knee collapsing inward is usually a telltale sign.

Was excited to see his resurgence after being ridiculed and counted out. Looking forward to him coming back strong. Sorry Magic fans.
