No. Just, no.

A knee injury in basketball is much, much worse than in football.

Running around on a hard surface vs. Grass/field turf.

The insane amount of jumping involved, again on that hard surface.

Apples and oranges.

Agreed.

This type of knee injury should keep a basketball player out for much longer than a running back simply because of the movements and surfaces of each sport.

Especially a guy like DRose, who probably puts more pressure on his knees than just about any other player in the world.
