The injury bug just can not leave Derrick Rose alone. The Chicago Bulls star suffered a left orbital fracture — a fracture of the eye socket — during practice Tuesday, taking an elbow from an unidentified teammate, the Bulls announced. He will have surgery on Wednesday, after that a timetable for his return will be announced.
How long Rose is out depends on the location of the fracture (is it near the eye and causing vision issues?), but it could cause him to miss the start of the season. He likely will wear a mask upon his return as well. This means the Bulls will have to lean on Aaron Brooks and Kirk Hinrich to run the point in his absence.
Rose has played in just 100 games this season as he’s dealt with a myriad of injuries affecting both of his knees. He was hoping to finally play a full season this year but it looks like The Return is once again put on hold.
