The Chicago Bulls will be without Derrick Rose to start the 2015-16 season — but what else is new. 

Stop if you’d heard this before: Derrick Rose is injured and is going to miss time this season for the Chicago Bulls. In the very first practice of the year, Rose suffered a fractured orbital and will undergo surgery on Wednesday. As of right now, it’s not clear how long Rose will be out, but this is something that Bulls fans have gotten used to over the course of Rose’s max contract.

According to reports, the Bulls star suffered the injury in the team’s first practice of the year.

"Bulls point guard Derrick Rose suffered a left orbital fracture in Tuesday’s season-opening practice and will have surgery Wednesday, the team announced."

This is so atypically D-Rose that it’s almost perfect that it happened. He’s been habitually broken for basically the entire duration of his max contract he signed after his MVP season — back in 2011. That was almost four full years ago and Rose has basically played about five minutes of that contract.

No, seriously. Since signing his max contract before the 2012 season, Rose has suffered now seven significant injuries.

Bulls fans were already irate over Rose talking about free agency in his first press conference of the year, and he followed that up with a typical D-Rose move by getting injured. Even if he returns in a short amount of time, the Bulls having to deal with another Derrick Rose injury before the start of the season is both the worst way to start their year but also the most unfortunately unexpected way as well.
