DERRICK ROSE
Brings ends to 16-year career Rose announced Thursday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional basketball.
Impact Selected by the Bulls with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Rose immediately established himself as one of the game's top point guards upon entering the league. After claiming Rookie of the Year honors, Rose was named NBA MVP as a 22-year-old during his third season in 2010-11, becoming the youngest player in league history to win the award. Unfortunately for Rose, that 2010-11 campaign would prove to be his peak, with a torn ACL suffered during the 2012 playoffs and a meniscus injury suffered in November 2013 costing him nearly two full seasons and significantly altering the trajectory of his career. Rose never made another All-Star team after suffering the two major injuries, but the 35-year-old still turned in a productive 16-year career and was often a solid secondary scoring option across his stops with the Bulls, Knicks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Pistons and Grizzlies. Rose had been under contract with the Grizzlies heading into the 2024-25 season, but he requested his release earlier this week so that he could officially head into retirement.

Expected to miss rest of season Rose (groin/back) will likely miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Rose was given a three-week return timetable after being diagnosed with low back and groin soreness in early March. However, it doesn't make sense to rush the veteran back with the Grizzlies out of playoff contention. Rose struggled to stay healthy all season and made just 24 appearances (seven starts), averaging 8.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 16.6 minutes. Rose is under contract with the Grizzlies for one more season.
