Friends & Family Say Derrick Rose Hasn’t Said Single Word In Past 17 Days

Close friends and family confirmed Tuesday that Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has remained completely silent for the past 17 days, failing to utter one word since learning that the torn meniscus in his right knee will cause him to miss a second consecutive season.

 

 

Reports The Onion:

 

“Derrick just sits there; he hasn’t even moved,” said Rose’s friend Andre Hamlin, adding that the three-time All-Star spends most of the day on the couch staring at the ceiling.
“Yesterday he inhaled deeply like he was about to say something, but then he just sighed and changed the TV channel he was watching.” Rose’s mother, Brenda, reportedly visited over the weekend and told her pajama-wearing son to remain positive in the face of adversity—an encouragement sources said the 2011 NBA MVP responded to with a shrug.

Update: Derrick Rose Is Out For The Season (Video)

Derrick Rose’s torn meniscus will keep him for playing the rest of the 2013-14 NBA season. Rose missed last season due to an ACL injury and was only able to play ten games this season. Tragic news for the young superstar.

Update: Derrick Rose Tears Meniscus, Out Indefinitely & Could Miss Season

The Bulls announced on Saturday that subsequent examinations and an MRI confirmed a medial meniscus tear to Derrick Rose’s right knee, which will require surgery. He is out indefinitely, and will not accompany the team on the rest of its current road trip.

 

 

Reports The Chicago Tribune:

Some athletes have returned after a four to five week absence from this injury. Given Rose’s torn ACL on his other knee, they likely will be conservative.

Rose suffered the injury cutting on a non-contact play Friday night in Portland, Ore., and left the arena on crutches. Privately, team officials and teammates feared the worst-case scenario given that Rose is just 19 months removed from tearing his left ACL and missing all of last season.

While Rose’s absence will add to the sputtering start the Bulls have experienced, particularly on top of the week-to-week loss of Jimmy Butler, it avoids the franchise-altering event of a torn ACL.

After Rose sat out all last season to rehabilitate his left knee, the 2013-14 Bulls were kept intact for one, final championship run. The reshaping of the roster, widely assumed to transpire next summer, likely won’t be accelerated given Rose’s scheduled return this season.

Still, the Bulls, who are well-versed to playing without Rose, understand what losing their star for any time means.

“It’s a huge loss,” guard Kirk Hinrich said. “Everything we do is built around him. Losing one of the best players in the league obviously changes the landscape of things. I just feel bad for him personally.”

The news reverberated throughout the sports world, a testament to the brotherhood of athletes and Rose’s popularity as a humble, hard-working superstar. Athletes from a wide variety of sports offered well-wishes for Rose’s recovery.

“I know how much work he has put into his rehab and the type of person and player he is,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “So I feel for him because of all the things that he does and what they mean to our team.”

The Bulls played most of the shortened lockout season in 2011-12 without Rose as he battled through a variety of injuries. Then came the opening game of the 2012 playoffs against the 76ers on April 28, when Rose jump-stopped on the United Center floor and crumpled out of sight for a full season.

Now, the Bulls face another road without their most dynamic star, but not one as long as originally feared.

“Guys have just got to pick it up,” Luol Deng said. “Obviously, it’ll be a setback not having him. But we’ve been there before. We’ve just got to play together.”

 



NBA: The Worst Is Feared As Derrick Rose Goes Down With Knee Injury (Video)

Everyone held their breath and it felt like April 2012 all over again. On Friday night during the Chicago Bulls game against the Portland Trailblazers, Derrick Rose went down with a knee injury this time to his right knee.

 

 

Reports IFWT:

 

Rose could not put weight on the knee and had to be helped to the locker room by two trainers. He later did not speak to the media following the 98-95 loss and was seen leaving on crutches. The extent of the injury is not yet known but is simply being classified as a “right knee injury”. Rose will undergo an MRI today with many people fearing he’s suffered another torn ACL. The injury occurred off no contact.
Here’s hoping Rose can rise above this as he has before. ”He’s a strong guy,” teammate Taj Gibson said. “He worked extremely hard this summer trying to get his body right, working out every day.”
