The Terrapins' sophomore guard has a reasonably common injury, but recovery times vary from weeks to a half-year.
Sophomore guard Dion Wiley sat out of Maryland's exhibition game Friday night against Southern New Hampshire with swelling in his right knee that he noticed at practice the day before. The injury was downplayed a bit, partially because of the other storylines unfolding for the No. 3 team in the nation, but Saturday afternoon's news brought it to light. Wiley has a tear in his right meniscus.
There are two ways players go about rehabbing meniscus injuries and both demand different recovery times and long-term health implications.
