Replacing only one tire

Hello all,

I did something really stupid today and nicked a curb while leaving a parking lot. I was so scared about getting out of my car and seeing damage to my rim...however the rim is barely damaged. The tire on the other hand has a chunk taken out of the sidewall. These are the oem continental tires, and the set is relatively brand new (<5k miles). I don't track my car, I use it mostly as a weekend/evening car.

Now to finally get to the point; is it out of the question to just replace one tire or would I have to replace both of the rears together? It just hurts because the tires are in such great shape. I know it may be tricky due to the LSD...Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions/experiences. Thanks in advance.
