Was it planted, did it slip, or feel different than unusual: sounds (i. e. pop) Hemarthrosis- bleeding into the joint typically occurs more quickly than synovial effusion like you would see with an mcl: noticeable swelling under 4 hours post-injury, noyes et al (1980) Hemarthrosis in joint= 75% chance its an acl injury.
