It’s really getting to the point where I’m convinced Derrick Rose will never be the same. Just when you think he’s starting to turn the curve and beat the injury bug, something else happens.
I know this will surprise you, but Derrick Rose is out for the rest of the game. Lower back, right hamstring.

Maybe the team is just being cautious with Rose, as they should but he’s pretty much damaged goods at this point. He’s had lingering injuries involving his knees and hamstrings in addition to having a left orbital fracture which caused him to have double vision for the early part of the season. Adding this new lower back issue is just another disappointing blow to one of the most gifted players the NBA has ever seen. There is no word on how serious the injuries are so for now we just hope for the best.
