Most NBA players recover from meniscus tears 
A handful of players are sidelined by torn knee cartilage every season in the National Basketball Association, according to a new study, and most make a full recovery within a couple months. In the last week, at least three NBA teams announced that one of their players would miss the first few weeks of a shortened season with a torn meniscus, including new Charlotte Bobcats hire Reggie Williams, Derrick Caracter of the Los Angeles Lakers and Eric Bledsoe of the Los Angeles Clippers.
