Derrick Rose needs surgery for torn meniscus


The Bulls point guard will be out indefinitely.


The Chicago Bulls will be without point guard Derrick Rose for the foreseeable future after an MRI confirmed a torn medial meniscus, forcing Rose to undergo another knee surgery.


According to the Bulls, Rose reported knee pain on Monday and underwent the MRI which showed a tear in the meniscus in his right knee. The injury is the same one Rose had surgery on in 2013. It will be his third knee surgery since 2012 including the torn ACL he suffered in his left knee during the 2012 playoffs.


The injury is yet another brutal blow of bad luck for Rose who has been riddled with injuries since hurting his knee in the playoffs against Philadelphia during the 2011-12 season. He went on to miss the entire 2012-13 season before returning last year. His return was short-lived, however, as he tore his meniscus in November and appeared in just 10 games. Rose battled smaller injuries this season, playing in 46 of Chicago's 57 games.


More to come.
