Derrick Rose’s Injury Report

Last year’s reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose may have to miss the Chicago Bulls season opener next Thursday against the Spurs due to a inflamed tendon behind his right ankle. Rose told the press that if it was up to him, he would have been already on the court. Bulls second year coach Vinny Del Negro said he wants Rose to take his time getting back to the court. The coach continued to say “But it’s also an unusual injury and it’s a different injury, and I just want to make sure it’s healed up and we’re doing everything and the doctors tell me and the trainers tell me and then we talk to Derrick.” Vinny has been very cautious with Rose’s injury. He doesn’t want to bring the big man back to the hardwood and jeopardize re-injury. Rose has been anxiously waiting his fate to hit the floor again. He stated that “It’s been kind of crazy. I’m kinda mad, but when you’re sitting out you see a lot of things like the plays, defensive plays, offensive plays, you see a lot of things not playing, but it’s killing me not to be out there.”
