Derrick Rose did not show up for practice today. Sources say management is putting pressure on him to play. Feels he's not mentally ready

It's Vecsey so take it for what it's worth, but it true that's a pretty big deal.

How can he overcome the mental aspect of an ACL injury without playing in an actual game? Trying to come back without physical or mental rust is ridiculous.

Not surprised here.

Rose has cried many times in public and on national television when speaking about his injury.

He's lost his groove.

I'll say this, I really don't think it's management because they got pissed when Vinny would play Noah. And if Deng can play without surgery he will, but when he should probably get surgery he always has.

Plus Rose said a few weeks ago that management was cool about letting him come back when he wanted too.

I lost a lot of respect for the young man during the past 2-3 weeks. That's real hard to do when I can honestly care less what is happening in Chi-town.

Do the Bulls sell out every single game? Just curious..

[Rubio2Gasol]

They very well know it's not worth it to Rose himself or them to risk coming back this season after what happened last time he rushed back.

He's going to have to play eventually though, they might consider giving him some time in the D League to ease him back onto the court.

Pretty much. I know they have one of the longest in NBA history with 610. I think the Blazers or Jazz or one of those really really devoted fanbases out west has the record.

what a pu$$y not coming back until he's 100 percent!

Exactly. Is the wuss going to sit out the next five seasons? You have to play out the rust. If the doctors say you are cleared, you go. If you don

[Budadiiii]

This guy is so mentally fragile it's almost sad...

Been saying it since he came into the league. I'm never wrong...

[kNicKz]

Took Rubio 45-60 days to get back to full speed. Him and Shumpert been back forever.

Everyones body recovers differently. Some take longer than others. I'm not going to question Rose based on a couple reports with 0 credibility. Hope he makes a good recovery. Teams have pressured players to come back too soon in the past, and it has resulted in worse injury

[Fedor - Laker]

hes a libra unfortunately

[imnew09]

He knows what's best for him. Nobody besides himself knows 100% about his body, so I wouldn't judge him on that one.

In addition, it's not just that; it also has to do with the team management. Rose feels this Bull team is not good enough to win it all this year, so he rather wait and come back when he's 110%.

[sportsfan76]

He is starting to sound like a ******

What the f*ck does he mean he is not mentally ready?
