Did Derrick Rose accidentally break a mirror during his lifetime? Does he own like a hundred black cats? For whatever reason, Derrick Rose has had the most terrible luck when it comes to injuries. In 2012, Rose tore the ACL in his left knee during a playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This injury caused him to miss the rest of the playoffs and the entire 2012-2013 NBA season, where his team, the Chicago Bulls, made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals until finally losing against the champions of that year, the Miami Heat. The next year, Rose was able to finally return to the NBA, but after finally returning to his true form, he injured himself again. The Bulls were playing the Portland Trail Blazers on November 22. All seemed to be going well when Rose fell to the ground in pain, clutching his right knee. After an MRI, it was determined that Rose had torn his right knee meniscus and that he would be ruled out for the rest of the season, again. Finally, at the start of 2014-2015 NBA season, Derrick Rose returned for the Bulls. He was able to make it through about half a season before being injuring, once again, his right knee meniscus. Fortunately for the Bulls, Rose was only ruled out for four-to-six weeks and was eventually able to return after missing 20 games. The Bulls eventually went on the second round of the NBA playoffs before losing to the Miami Heat.
The year is now 2015. The 2015-2016 NBA season is set to begin on October 27, and Derrick Rose is once again injured. Luckily for the Bulls, he is only supposed to be out for two weeks, but it is still unfortunate for 26-year-old star, who longs to have a complete healthy season for once. On Tuesday, September 29, Rose was accidentally elbowed in the face by a fellow teammate during practice. He suffered a left orbital fracture that required surgery the next morning. The Bulls are optimistic that the injury shouldn't prevent Rose from playing at his potential this season, and are hopeful that he will finally be able to return to his MVP form this season. Rose has unfortunately suffered many injuries during his prime years in the NBA. He has just had awful luck when it has come to his health. At least he still makes millions of dollars right?
It will be interesting to see if Derrick Rose will be able to stay healthy once he is back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Obama for Derrick Rose's major injuries
ReplyDeleteHow is Derrick's injury history going to affect his medical health over the long run?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Rose will ever be able to be as great as he used to be. It was very unfortunate for him to be injured while he was still in his prime.
