It is good news that you did not tear it completely. One of the top New York City one-wall Handball/paddleball/raquetball players tore his in one of the tournaments in Florida...and after surgery and rehab was back in great form...but unfortunatley he tore his other one in another tournament. An injury like this can be career ending in any sport. I would just make sure that you take it easy for a while, it seems some poeple favor the side the injury is on...and end up hurting something else.
