Got mri thursday & results friday and doc told me i completely tore my acl . but i played a game of basketball with no problems . is this true ?

Could be.: There are other ligaments in the knee that provide function and stability. So you can perform quite well with one ligament torn. Believe the doctor and get it treated.
