A Frame-By-Frame Breakdown Of Derrick Rose’s Devastating Injury
Rose possibly tore his ACL and MCL on the play, which came with a minute left in Chicago’s blowout win over Philadelphia. He’s receiving an MRI soon to determine the extent of the injury.
1. In garbage time, Rose squared up at the top of the key and drove to the basket.
2. Pushing off his left foot, Rose made an agressive cut right.
3. Dude would probably make an excellent long-jumper.
4. It’s here, on the landing, that he appears to sustain the injury, with his left knee buckling inwards.
5. Blame Spencer Hawes? He is right there, after all. DAMMIT, SPENCER.
6. Yep, your left leg should not look like that.
7. Remarkably, Rose somehow shot himself into the air after the nasty landing.
8. Even with what could be a torn ACL, Derrick Rose jumps very high.
9. On the second landing, there’s no hiding the damage. Rose’s knee can’t bear his weight, and he goes down immediately.
10. He had to be helped off the court, maybe taking the Bulls’ playoff hopes with him.

JohanPar a year agoOh lord. I can’t wait for the inevitable Bulls - Heat match-up just so people could go ‘Rose wasn’t playing so Heat won by default’. Yes, because if the Heat win, it’ll be solely on the back of Rose missing matches. It’s not like Chicago managed the best record without Rose during the regular season, right? Once he’s out, the whole series - hell, all of the play-offs - might as well be cancelled because it’s all handed to the Heat on a silver platter. Whatever happens in basketball, there is always some way to direct it against the Heat. I’m not even a fan.

Laura R. a year agoJL3 and Rip will step up, as well as CJ, Gibson, Korver, and the rest of the bench mob. We are the best for a reason. We did it most of the season without Rose, not to mention the rotation of other players with injuries, and one by one every one has stepped up in one game or another. Chicago, this isn’t over! See red!!! GO BULLS!

deniser7 a year agoHe’s missed tons of games this season and the Bulls were still the #1 contender for the East!! Im a Knicks fan, but I would hate to see the Bulls lose and the Heat move onto the finals. Even if the Heat moves on…they still have to comete with the likes of the Spurs, Oklahoma City , & the Or the Lakers.I hope the Bulls win, cant bare to see Lebron win…with the bullshit calls the ref were making today & him flopping just about every 5 seconds…ugh. Come on Bulls you can do it!!!

Art Vandelay a year agoThis injury will show the true impact that a superstar like d.rose can have on the entire league. I hope i’m wrong because i’m a Bulls fan and despise the Heat but the decision to keep him in the game w/a minute left might directly result in lebron getting his first title, basketball gods please let me be wrong.
