Wow.

Sorry to hear about Rose, sigh.

That means the east is wide open again. And the Celtics can make a big push.

Tough luck, but its his face, so it won't affect his game and it should be a short timetable for return. Same thing Westbrook and Rondo had last year.

Lebron is still in the East.


Also, Rose won't be out long at all, and this injury won't affect his game.

 Maybe he did do some of the stuff he's accused of because this guy's karma is off the charts

It's like some put a Harry Potter style spell on him

he can always wear a mask like Kobe, Westbrook and others. But still for someone his age, he sure gets more injuries and surgeries than anyone of the same age

he needs more milk. milk prevents injury.

So does kevlar.

As others have pointed out, guys play through this sort of injury frequently.  Not a big deal.

Not a great omen, though.

Will Samuel L. Jackson be reprising his Mr Glass role for the Derrick Rose biopic?

[Neurotic Guy]

I usually don't feel too bad for wealthy professional athletes unless there is a serious disease, a tragic family issue, or a life-altering type of injury.  But jeez -- this guy just keeps on getting hurt.  If it was knees again I'd say it's just his body and that's the way it is, but this one is fluke and could happen to anyone.  Hope he plays soon -- but he's been gun-shy in the past and sure wouldn't blame him if he shies from contact.

If Rose plays past 30 years old, I be shock..

He'll keep playing because he wants to get paid again under the new TV deal.

Yeah, wants to get paid to support his family. What a novel idea.
