how the hell do you handle something like this mentally? This is now the third surgery that he has had in the past 3 years. I honestly don't think any more that he can be the player that he once was. I feel sorry for someone who has such great love for the sport.

Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose has a torn meniscus in his right knee and will undergo surgery, the team said Tuesday.

Rose reported earlier in the day with right knee pain. An exam and subsequent MRI confirmed the tear.

A timetable for Rose's return will be determined once he has surgery, the team said.

This fucking guy.

I'm gonna chalk this up to carelessness on behalf of his staff.

3 surgeries in 3 years points to mishandling of this guy on and off the court.

 

[victreeb3l]

I feel so bad for him.

Sure he's got $100mm+ but still.

 

[Cipherr]

This guys legs are done. I mean.... He is sitting during his heavy prime years with these ridiculous injuries.

 

[Ephemeris]

damn. Was really rooting for him this season too

 

[Team Alucard]

Honestly, its karma for the shit he pulled in the 2013 playoffs.

 

[DietRob]

Walking seems like it might be more important than basketball. Especially when you already have 100m. Maybe he should hang it up. Dude can't make it out of a season unscathed.

NBA's Mr. Glass.

 

[LyleLanley]

Honestly, its karma for the shit he pulled in the 2013 playoffs.

Lol, what?

 

[GaimeGuy]

Honestly, its karma for the shit he pulled in the 2013 playoffs.

The hell?

 

[THRILLH0]

As a Bulls fan just ship him to the damn Suns already so we can actually see him play.

 

[Officerrob]

Time to move on from D Rose

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Honestly, its karma for the shit he pulled in the 2013 playoffs.

Honestly, you are a jackass.

 

[Cipherr]

Oh, and to hell with adidas. Someone slap the head of that company with a cactus and void all of their NBA shoe contracts.

I don't know if their raggedy shoes have even contributed... but just in case..

 

[Arkos]

Damn that's so terrible, enjoy that cash playa

 

[DrMcNulty]

This fucking guy.

Disagree. He was on a very strict minutes limit until recently. They handled him as well as they possibly could. At some point the man has to play.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Dump that salary and fucking PAY Jimmy Butler

 

[ViciousDS]

Time to move on from D Rose

I'm a Chicagoan and thought this was the year.... He was actually playing well and logged decent minutes. Then out of the blue this happens. his future now is basically a 15 minute role player off the bench I can't see him doing anything else he's just going to get injured if he plays 40 minutes games. Which is what will happen because Thibodeau likes to play his starter so many minutes. just sucks set we may not get a championship now. Might just have to start building around a different centerpiece known as Jimmy Butler.

 

[friskykillface]

honestly should be a back up/6th man, or at least play after the all star game x second half of the season

i think hes cursed now , sucks to see

 

[CSX]

From MVP to this again, it's really disheartening and im aint even the biggest bulls fan

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Noooo!!!!

;______;

 

[LyleLanley]

The Bulls should do him a favor and trade him to the Suns.

 

[Tevos]

I absolutely hate seeing this happen to players like him.

Chicago fans, you have my condolences. As a Portland fan, I know VERY well what incredible potential destroyed by knee injuries looks like.

 

[genjiZERO]

It's a shame his legs are broke. He's a fun player to watch.

 

[Jmanunknown]

As a Bulls fan just ship him to the damn Suns already so we can actually see him play.

That training staff in Phoenix is amazing. Feel sorry for Bulls fans and the team D-Rose and his knees just cannot be trusted. I was hoping they would challenge the Cavs but, now that seems unlikely.

 

[Pimpwerx]

This is very unfortunate for Rose and Bulls fans. The guy simply can't catch a break. PEACE.

 

[Trey]

Fuck.

 

[King Tubby]

I think it's time to come to terms with it and consider him done. I can't see any sane team giving him a decent contract going forward.

What I'm saying is, all signs point to Knicks signing him to a max when his current contract expires.

 

[RockTurtle]

so it's official now right?

 

[LyleLanley]

so it's official now right?

What is?

 

[Fusion Pizza]

That sucks, any time you see someone going in for multiple surgeries like that in a short time span, it's almost always bad after-care.

 

[Zeke]

He can join the spurs pop will make sure his minutes are kept in check and will be a great off the bench player

 

[DarkFlow]

Honestly, its karma for the shit he pulled in the 2013 playoffs.

Get that shit out of here.

As a Bulls fan just ship him to the damn Suns already so we can actually see him play.

This guy knows what's up.

 

[RELIGHT]

Hopeless case

 

[victreeb3l]

How hard is Thibs pushing him during practices?

 

[Exploratory]

Honestly, its karma for the shit he pulled in the 2013 playoffs.

You should be banned for this.

 

[ramuh]

This dude is made of fucking glass.

 

[genjiZERO]

He and RG3 should start making buddy cops films together.

 

[Cipherr]

Whelp, they better see if Nate Robinson is available or some shit. Should have held on to him in the first damned place.

 

[BobLoblaw]

He either doesn't want to change his play style or he can't. I know it's easier said than done, but if you love the game and want to play it as long as possible, you have to change how you play. And I'm not trying to jinx Westbrook, but he plays very similar to how D Rose used to.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Aaron Brooks and E'Twaun Moore time!

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

The current gen Grant Hill. Feel bad for him.

 

[3N16MA]

Chicago gets to relive Mark Prior and Kerry Wood all over again.

 

[malyce]

Dude is way too fragile. He isn't built for the sport.

 

[Choomp]

Oh, the memes are a'comin

 

[EightBitNate]

 

[Trey]

All we have left is Westbrook, and Lillard to a lesser extent.

 

[jwhit28]

The NBA is so full of serviceable PGs that I think the Bulls could look at someone like Goran Dragic, Brandon Knight, or Reggie Jackson and win the East.

 

[LyleLanley]

All we have left is Westbrook, and Lillard to a lesser extent.

What?

 

[Big-E]

This was the only way it was going to end. I don't know who actually thought that he was going to last a nominal period of time.

 

[Anth0ny]

Devastating.
