No, you shouldnt play cause you can damage yourself even further and with that you risk not being able to play as often as before.. i think you should wait and heal

You will have to walk and run on that knee for another 70 years. Knee replacements have been improved a lot in recent years and they last over 10 years now.
I think ligaments take about as long to heal as bones, roughly 6 weeks. I think you should NOT play on Friday. You are going to need that knee to be pain free as long as you can.

This is obviously a question for your doctor or team trainer. I'd also hope that your coach isn't crazy enough to let you play.
You have no idea what knee issues can do to you later in life if you don't take proper care. Be smart and sit out.

depends on how many weeks ago you hurt your knee and your level of pain. You might have to settle being a water boy this time.

Probably not. You should ask the doctor what he thinks though.

Not! It could cause more damage.

its all up to you if you feel good than you should. But if you don't then you should stay home and not feel guilty at all
