November 2013 Derrick Rose knee injury is meniscus tear to right knee, needs surgery

According to Yahoo Sports, “It is unclear when – or if – Rose will return this season. If Rose decides to reattach the meniscus – usually the route taken by young players – he’ll be expected to miss the rest of the regular season. To clip off the meniscus is a riskier long-term issue, but could have Rose back in one to two months.”

SMH. We're being robbed as NBA fans, man.

:violin:

Damn.

Anywho, I was right in a sense. I knew it wasn't ACL because if it was, he could still walk.

This is definitely better than ACL, no matter how long he's out.




.

Out of everything that is happening with this and the reactions. I wonder what is going through Rose's mind right now?

:cry:

:(

I feel absolutely retarded for talking shit about Rose all these years.

Better than a ligament.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Care to elaborate on this?

How long does that type of injury keep you out for?

[QUOTE=TheMarkMadsen]Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck[/QUOTE]
Well I wonder what his mindset is. Is he thinking, "****, why should I even try? I'm just going to get injured again and I won't be what I was?" or "I'm going to come back from this and be better than ever."

I'm just wondering if he's in a give-up mode or if he feels he can come back from this.

[QUOTE=Meticode]Are to elaborate on this?[/QUOTE]
what happened to you?

How does somebody recover confidence wise from all these injuries.

Can he ever play care free worry free basketball again?

They said it's possible season-ending. With Derrick rose and the way he rehabbed from the last recovery. I wouldn't doubt this whole season and maybe part of next season.

I need to blow some trees and get some hookers/strippers after the surgery.

what else can he do? cant retire, but he'll never be the same

Tough blow for us Bulls fans. Times are gonna be hard with all the trolling and joking and drudging through low scoring games but we will persevere. I have a feeling good things will come out of all this even if we have to wait a couple years.

'Tis hard not to feel for D. Rose.

no time table set until after surgery but im guessing 2 months. but in Rose's case he might not want to risk it again and sit out for the entire year again. Westbrook tore his meniscus most recently and didnt play again for 6 months but he also had the offseason to work that in with. He wasnt pressured to come back when he was ready to play.

Torn meniscus you can play on but theres a certain pain tolerance you can live with and how badly it can swell after games. Metta played 2 weeks after having surgery on his torn meniscus. Granted, Metta is dumb

He's going to miss another season. Awful.

Westbrook tore his meniscus too, but he came back in amazingly quick time (5 months recovery), so basically it looks like Rose will be out until March if he follows the Westbrook schedule. also don't forget, westbrook was supposed to come back in mid-December, not 5 games into the season like what he actually did. So I reckon that Rose may be out of the entire season again.

Do the Bulls try to trade D-Rose?

Don't worry, when you play us Cavs you'll still beat us.

its possible but unlikely

a lot of meniscus injuries actually heal pretty fast after surgery. There won't be any timetable until the day after the surgery. The range varies drastically depending on what the extent of the injury was and where it is, but in any case the usual range is 6-8 weeks. I seriously doubt he stays out until next year.

Anyways get well soon D Rose.

I honestly don't think he was the same after the ACL. He could still bounce but a lot of the layups he had didn't have that spring to them and we didn't get to see him take off with two feet and sky like he did pre-injury.

I don't know what to say...obviously I'm biased and a bit emotional because the Bulls have been my favorite team since I was a youngin' but we need to rebuild and plan for a life without Rose.

:cry:

Grant Hill 2.0

[QUOTE=Meticode]Are to elaborate on this?[/QUOTE]

Well, for one I'll say Rose is excused for having waited a long time before returning... I think deep down he, and maybe his personal doctor, knew his body was prone to injury - in which case extra caution would have been warranted. Of course this isn't the type of info a player would want to make public..

I can only imagine what it's like having to ''hold back'' efforts out of fear for re-injury, on a stage as grand as the NBA. Must be quite the mind**** for Rose right now - He'll have to consider foregoing the driving layups altogether in the future... which sucks horribly for such a young talent.

Damn, that's tough...

[QUOTE=kurple]what else can he do? cant retire, but he'll never be the same[/QUOTE]
I'm just wondering what he's thinking right now. Not what he can do. There's a ton of things you can do in life when shit happens to you, but what do you feel and think after it initial happens?

[QUOTE=Meticode]Don't worry, when you play us Cavs you'll still beat us.[/QUOTE]
Yeah because that's what I was worrying about:facepalm

:banghead:

That's an outpatient scope procedure. You walk out of the facility when you're done. Should only take a few months for recovery.

The bad news, is that he appears to have unstable knees and will likely never be the same.

Well I'm throwing Rose's mental mindset in there too since he took so long for the last recovery because he wanted to be "110%".

I tore my meniscus and only needed arthroscopic surgery. Hopefully that wil be the case with Rose.

From wiki:

[I]Studies have also shown with increasing time between ACL injury and ACL reconstruction, there is an increasing chance of meniscus tears. This study showed meniscus tears occurring at a rate of 50-70% depending on how long after the ACL injury the surgery occurred.[/I]

Imagine if the Suns ever got a hold of Rose.
