I'm guessing he'll be back in time to participate in the Opening and Rivals camps in Feb/March or would that be coming back to soon?
Torn is typically 9 months per a quick google.

Seems like child beater AD had that injury 5ish years ago and went to Europe for some odd rehab and surgery. Came back in a lot less time.

If he tore his ACL and meniscus, it means it was probably pretty bad. Doubt he competes at either of those. No reason to rush back for some stupid camps.

Return to play after ACL depends on how it’s reconstructed. The old thinking was wait a month before surgery, but now it’s often earlier if there is also other work to do. Allograft (dead person from bone bank) tendon graft usually 9 months before full go. Autograft (some hamstrings from the patient that he, believe or not, won’t miss) tendon graft usually 6 months. Bone-tendon-bone autograft (chunks of knee cap, shin, and strip of tendon connecting them) usually 4 1/2 months. Optimistically he might be cleared for unrestricted cutting and pivoting (the last activities to be permitted) circa January 2020. Very surgery (and hence surgeon) dependent, though.

surgery is next week and he is getting the last type of surgery you described.
