YouTube streamer Herschel "DrDisRespect" made his return to streaming in September 2024 after a brief hiatus following the grooming allegations. In November 2024, the content creator announced on X that he would be taking a three-day break due to a torn ACL.
Such injuries are serious, often causing knee instability and significantly limiting physical activity. They typically require surgery and extensive rehabilitation, which could be why he decided to take a step back for a few days.
Despite the injury, he continued to stream on his YouTube channel before announcing that he'd be taking a three-day break. Subsequently, he shared an image of his leg post-operation and assured his viewers that he would return to streaming the following week.

In classic DrDisRespect fashion, he said:
"ACL surgery complete. I spent 45 minutes trying to get into the Lambo this morning… not happening. Full rest day and weekend. See you Monday Champs."
How did DrDisRespect tear his ACL?
During his first livestream after the injury, DrDisRespect suggested that he'd hurt himself playing basketball, saying:
"But the knee, there's been a setback. I don't want to go into the details, slam-dunk, pushed a guy to the ground, hanging on the rim, making sure the marble bag's swaying in front of his face because he just got dunked on and we had to remind him."
He revealed that the type of surgery he was due to get was a Patella Graft, which is a type of surgical graft commonly used in reconstructive procedures, particularly in ACL reconstruction.
It involves taking a section of the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone, along with small bone plugs from these parts. This graft is then used to replace the damaged ACL. When a viewer asked if he was "getting a Patella Graft," the Doc said:
"Yes, I am. There's some internal debate on whether or not I should do it from the hamstring... But then, it's discussions of age... it's irrelevant to me, I'm not even close to my prime, trust me. But there's this like... if you're past a particular age, you gotta go with this procedure. If not, you gotta go with this one."
The content creator, who is 42 years old, suggested that the surgery might have to be altered because of his age. With his surgery now complete, he'll return to streaming on Monday, November 18, 2024.
