Top 5 returns by NBA players after gruesome injuries

#4 Derrick Rose

We were wondering which of Rose’s injuries to put on the list, and finally settled on his knee injury against the Philadelphia 76ers. The youngest player to win the MVP Award would come down hard on his left knee in game 1 of the first round Playoff of that year.

After being helped off the court, an MRI would reveal a torn ACL which would sideline him for the remainder of the season and the next. His return would be cut short by a torn meniscus. Rose would however, lead the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Semi-finals in the 2014-15 season, where they would lose to eventual finalists, the Cavaliers. Rose is showing flashes of his MVP self in the current season, including 36 points in a quadruple overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons.
