The weather has been messing with a lot of people travels and Derrick Rose got stuck trying to leave his beach vacation.
— Derrick Rose said after the Chicago Bulls’ 100-91 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Friday night that he had apologized to his teammates for missing Wednesday’s practice because of what Tom Thibodeau called “travel issues” during the point guard’s return from a beach vacation after the All-Star break.
While it is unclear exactly when the apology took place in the last two days, Rose’s game was clearly not in rhythm after a week off as he had one of the worst performances of the season.
In 31 minutes, Rose scored just eight points and was 2-for-9 from the field. He added two assists, two rebounds and six turnovers.
“Being one of the leaders, for anyone to miss, I wouldn’t want it to be me,” Rose said. “It hurt. I apologized to the guys and that was it.”
Rose didn’t play well in his first game back, but this is really much ado about nothing.
