NBA Today: 5 Most injury-prone players in the league right now

#2 Derrick Rose (Detroit Pistons)

Rose is probably the unluckiest player in the NBA

Derrick Rose was one of the biggest talents coming into the NBA in 2008-09 and backed up the hype by becoming the youngest MVP in league history in 2010-11 while playing for the Chicago Bulls. Rose suffered an ACL tear during the 2012 playoffs and that is where his career took a turn for the worse. He missed the whole 2012-13 regular season and returned in 2013-14.

Rose played just 10 games before a right knee meniscus tear ended his season, continuing his bad luck with injuries. Rose had another right knee surgery in 2014-15 and played only 51 games due to another meniscus tear.

Rose had a bit of a resurgence in 2015-16 with the Bulls and 2016-17 with the Knicks, playing 60+ games both seasons and was starting to get into a rhythm but then again injured the meniscus in the left knee, undergoing a fourth knee surgery in 6 years.

Rose played then for the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves, suffering a bunch of ankle injuries, which kept him out of the 2017-18 season almost entirely. He returned to the Wolves last season and had a stellar year, averaging 18 points and 4.3 assists in 51 games played. Rose has signed with the Pistons this offseason and will be hoping to return to his former self.
