When watching Derrick Rose, NBA fans lurch every time he hits the floor. I almost expect him to start limping or cringe in pain. It’s not a good look, and it’s apparent he is worried about his health following comments he made about trying to save his body for life after the NBA.
Rose sprained both of his ankles earlier this season and made his return to the starting lineup Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors.
With less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Rose fell to the floor on a drive and left the game with an injured ankle. It happened with very little contact, which is never a good sign. You can watch a video of the injury below:
The former MVP has dealt with injury after injury and it’s depressing to see such a potentially electric player limited because his legs can’t keep up. The Bulls can’t rely on him playing, and he may have to change his playing style. Chicago’s in a tough position with Rose. How can you build a team around a guy who hardly plays? If these injuries keep happening, they will have to address the situation in some way.
At the time of this post, there is no news of the extremity of Rose’s injury. Keep it with FanSided.com for updates.
