You know, James and the media are bumming about the missed time that is much longer for a full repair... but an orthopedic surgeon who does these surgeries posted in the comments section of the Athletic that it's actually good news. You only do the full repair when it's a clean tear and you can save most of the meniscus. You only do the trim when it's an unfixable mess in there and as a result, you take out more meniscus that never grows back.
So it's a bummer for the summer, but good news for his long term knee health.
