Bulls’ Rose to have surgery on torn meniscus
ESPN.com news services
CHICAGO — Bulls guard Derrick Rose has a torn meniscus in his right knee and will undergo surgery, the team said Tuesday.
Rose reported earlier in the day with right knee pain. An exam and subsequent MRI confirmed the tear.
A timetable for Rose’s return will be determined once he has surgery, the team said.
Rose has been dogged by injuries for the past three seasons.
He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Game 1 of the 2012 playoffs against Philadelphia. The 2011 NBA MVP missed the entire next season, then played in only 10 games last season before a right knee injury shelved him for the rest of the season.
Rose was scratched for one game last month for soreness in his left knee, and he missed four games in November with a hamstring injury.
Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James was one of many players reacting to the news on Twitter late Tuesday.
Man feel bad for D.Rose! Keep your head up homie and stay strong G!
