With Billings' pronated knees he is prone to meniscus tears from what I have read and from my experience with a long-time friend who played division I volleyball who had ongoing meniscus issues/surgeries. Especially prone to medial meniscus tears. It will be interesting to find out which one it was with Billings - if we ever do. I hope our unparalleled medical/training staff has a specific plan for rehabilitation and methods for mitigating the issue in the future.
I'm not sure what you mean by pronated knees. Do you mean a genu valgum deformity? This is just a guess, but I would say medial meniscal tears are more common than lateral tears because guys get hit on the lateral side of the knee and the valgus stress tears the MCL along with the medial meniscus. Same when someone plants his foot and pivots, valgus stress on the knee.
