Derrick Rose can’t seem to catch a break anymore when it comes to injuries.
Just when everyone started to get over all the drama that surrounded the point guard earlier in the season due to his inability to stay on the court, it was announced on Tuesday that he would require surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
The sudden announcement caught everyone off guard, and plenty around the league shared their disbelief and prayers once the news broke:
Feel so bad for Drose. One of the most genuine superstars out there, even better person…
