Rumors surface: D-Rose out w/ torn ACL & MCL


Unconfirmed reports are surfacing that Derrick Rose has a torn ACL and MCL and will not return this season.

Details are sketchy and we're still awaiting confirmation from Bulls' writers. This was first circulated by @NBCMiami, but CSN writer John Finger has since confirmed, "Word around the United Center press room: Torn ACL & MCL for Derrick Rose." The Bulls have proven their resiliency all season, but if true this could be a death blow for their championship aspirations. C.J. Watson and backup John Lucas.

The guy is going to need new legs.

how sad if this is true

[Snowball]

they are blaming coach Thibs but
it was just a matter of when anyway

[Speedy88]

do we really have to go through the motions and play the playoffs out east, can't we just advance the Heat into the finals?

[MoneylineExpress]

Heat can cruise to the finals now. Celts or Hawks might give the Bulls a series now.

How about some of these:

Might as well have the Heat in the finals and let San Antonio and OKC battle it out for the other spot.

And just think, if the Knicks would have just laid down to the Clippshow, they'd be playing the Bulls instead of getting blown out by the Heat.

too bad..the game needs him

Do the 76ers have a shot now?

Bulls should still be able to get past the Sixers, especially w/ a 1-0 lead, but I don't think it will be quite as easy. I think Bulls take it in 6.

NBA TV just reported it as official: Torn ACL, done for the year.

sixers matchup with the bulls, they just arent as goood
now its a little more even with rose being done

[Mac4Lyfe]

He's done for the year.

The guy was pretty durable the last few years but turned into a piece of glass this year. Tough break. Hope he get's well for next year.

Missed nearly half the regular season games during the condensed season, no one should be shocked at a major injury during the playoffs. Dents and dings lead to major bodywork in the end.

[Speedy88]

I hope he isn't the next Brandon Roy.

[ChiLLx]

Absolutely devastating

[dfish]

Too bad
Chicago futures dead money

[thaman79]

Big blow for the Bulls. They should still get pass the 76ers. But it's wide open for the Heat. LB should get the MVP and a ring. Let's see...
