It takes ANY joint for anybody 12-24 months after a major invasive surgery before it feels as good as it will so Revis's experience was pretty normal. While on one hand it might seem like you can compare basketball players and football players the reality is they actually put different forces on their knee joints. In addition to the sharp turning and abrupt starting and stopping they do, basketball players JUMP and do that on an unyielding surface, that puts tremendous pressure on the knee joint. Basketball players height also plays into their outcomes, the taller you are the looser the support tissue is around the joints. That helps prenvents some of the ligament and tendon injuries we see in football but it also allows for greater normal wearing of the cartiledge.
Tez is young and in excellent shape. he doesn't have a history of knee surgery for (most of those basketball players microfracture was a last resort surgery), as far as we know the support structure of the knee is intact. True, he may not be 100% back to the player we know but the odds are in his favor for a good outcome. Though it will likely be next season before he can play without thinking about the knee.
