He def won't be playing next season if he needs surgery.

He was limping beginning of the game! See the big a$$ brace on his leg?! What did you think that was for? That last injury he had was due to a crappy a$$ field that's how he tore his ACL/MCL. The previous scrambles that he had he was hurt but he had no tears. You clearly saw his leg buckle and went sideways when he planted to the ground.

Partially torn ACL and LCL. If that´s true he got lucky, this way he should be ready to go in 6-8 weeks instead of 8-10 months.

I dunno. Partial tears aren't much better then actual tears. Those things don't heal cleanly.

ACL tears don't heal on their own. He'll need to have that stitched up and secured.

in complete tears, dont they use tendon from elsewhere in the body to replace the torn ligament all together?

Yeah, they replace it with a ligament from the leg.

Sometimes they replace it with one from a cadaver, like D Rose did. I believe it depends on the extent of the damage to the knee and each option offers different advantages/disadvantages.

This. I think if a partial tear requires surgery they use a tendon or ligament from somewhere else in your body and full tears they usually opt for a cadaver ligament before they take one from elsewhere in your body.
