Derrick Rose of Chicago Bulls out indefinitely, needs surgery on torn medial meniscus in knee - ESPN Chicago

Rose underwent an MRI, which revealed a medial meniscus tear in his knee.

Out indefinitely> out for the year

I'm just glad that its not his ACL and that he should be back in 2-3 months. At latest Rose should be back sometime in February

What a horrible tragedy for that kids career. He needs to go the Germany and get that Juice Kobe uses.

 

[bksballer89]

It's not that bad Logic....Everyone thought it was his ACL so this is actually good news

 

[Golden Spur]

Doesn't that mean arthroscopic surgery? Doubt he'd be out until February, with that one.

 

[bksballer89]

It depends how bad it is. I know Metta peace came back from that surgery in a month but Westbrook was out 2 months with the same thing so we'll see it

"Horrible tragedy?" Oh puhlease. :rollseyes: Toughen up, buttercup. It's sports. Shit happens.

He's a fragile little guy isn't he.

 

[HammerDown]

He's a fragile little guy isn't he.

Especially emotionally. If he wasn't prepared mentally for the day-to-day grind of life as a professional athlete, he should have never taken that money from the Bulls.

Most unfortunate.

I've never had any type of serious knee injury, but as far as long range considerations, I think I'd actually rather have a ligament than a cartilage tear, if it came to that. At least there's an avenue to structural repair, by using a tendon (patellar or hamstring, I believe) from elsewhere. With a meniscus, I believe they basically just go in and sew up the remaining cartilage to 'close the holes'. Can lead to permanent problems.

Well, the Bulls season is probably shot.

Fuck, that's not good news for him.

[Golden Spur]

Fuck, that's not good news for him.

He'll be ok in the short term, most likely.

He'll be ok in the short term, most likely.

Oh, OK, I see. I wonder if he is done for the year, though.

 

[bksballer89]

If he misses the year with this injury he is truly soft. Nobody misses 5+ months with that injury

what a shame
