StPaulHusker Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 For comparison, Leslie Smith was injured a month before Rose. He's hoping to play in January (right at six months). I would imagine basketball players like him could probably come back a little quicker than a football player It's the opposite, actually. Ligament and meniscus injuries in basketball usually have a longer recovery time than those for football players. A football player can be expected to return from an ACL tear in about 6-8 months, while the time frame for basketball players is usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 7-12 months, or longer.
