Derrick Rose needs surgery on fractured face

Made

Of

Glass


It's really unfortunate when you think of how freakishly good he was 5 years ago.

[ederson]

It`s not the kind of injury that will affect his game and he will be back soon but psychologically is a killer.

[GreenWarrior]

he should be a better rebounder for having the nick name Mr. Glass.

It will be interesting to see what Hoiberg can do with the Bulls this year.  Was Thibs holding them back by running them into the ground, or was he actually just holding a broken team together and getting them to excel despite it all?  I could see that team finishing anywhere from 2-10th.

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.

Is that sarcasm?  Rose has already signed contracts that will pay him a total of $300,000,000.    Unless his family wipes their butts with finely spun sheets of platinum, he already has enough to support them and all the families that reside in a decent-sized Chicago neighborhood.

Not that I begrudge anyone making as much money as they can, but there's a point where you need to stop talking about it like they're earning $10 an hour and living in a little house down by the railroad tracks.

I can't imagine platinum toilet paper would be very comfortable.

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.

Not quite; there's several different bones that comprise the face.

Westbrook broke the lateral process of his zygomatic bone (his cheek). From all of the reports about D-Rose's injury, it's much closer to his eye and, as a result, is a more serious injury (as there could be potential complications with his vision). That wasn't really a concern with Westbrook as the injury was far from his eyes; that's why he was able to return after missing a single game.

Rose should be good for the season opener, but he won't be able to (or probably more accurately, shouldn't) make a Westbrook-style return, i.e. return during training camp or even during preseason.

I agree it is going to be real interesting, especially for the bulls front office.  I always like Thibs when he was with the C's.  Yeah was it him running the life out of the team, or were they really not a serious contender either way?

I am an Iowa State alum, so I have mixed feelings about Fred going to the bulls in the first place.  I know it was probably the right time to bolt for the NBA, but imo this bulls team has the potential to underachieve, Hoigberg spread offense or not.  I really wondered if Fred should have given more thought to the T-wolves job, maybe better to grow with a younger team with less expectations, and a less fractious front office.

As I said, looks like he will be back in two weeks, and Holberg says he expects that he will return 100% right away as this injury won't affect his game at all.

"Derrick Rose has surgery for orbital fracture; expected back in 2 weeks"

"He's still in great spirits, and again, it's not a structural injury," Hoiberg said, adding that he texted with Rose on Tuesday night. "When he comes back ready to go he should be able to go right back into it 100 percent -- which, if you have something going on with one of your other body parts, it's going to be you gradually get back. You know, 50 percent load and then move all the way up from mid-restriction. I don't anticipate that in his case this will happen."

Sounds like Rose's injury is more similar to what happened to Conley.

I imagine he'll wear a mask for a while.

well, he's single so his face will definitely affect his "game"

Yes of course it's sarcasm!
