Ahh..Injury has hit Derrick Rose once again. After sitting out a few games with an ankle injury, Rose returned Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors. He was having a great game with 20 points and 4 assists, until he made a certain move. This move was a move that Rose is custom to making, but the landing looked to be a little awkward. With the look of pain on the face of Rose, this is something all NBA fans were becoming used to; Derrick Rose being injured. He didn’t look for much medical attention and it remained possible he could return to the game. But as a precaution, he sat out of the rest of the game. Luckily, the Bulls were able to win the game against a very talented Raptors team. But still, the big takeaway from the game was Derrick Rose being injured.
Derrick Rose Diagnosed with mild Hamstring Strain
Luckily for Bulls fans, there is no need to be majorly concerned. Rose did not have to undergo an MRI, which is a big deal. He has officially been diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain and is listed as day to day. Bulls fans need to be patient with Rose in this situation. He is basically playing his first season in two years, there is going to be some rust and tweaks. Rose must be able to adjust his game so that he can play at a high rate. And we’ve noticed him make a few changes in his game, which is important.
Expect Rose to sit out Saturday night’s contest against the Indiana Pacers. This is a game they should be able to win without the presence of Rose, they’re used to playing without him. As for Monday’s game against the Clippers, the Bulls will need Rose for this marquee match up. Expect to see him try his hardest to play on Monday. Everything is going to be okay Bulls fans, there’s no need to get too concerned.
