Derrick Rose has had an interesting NBA career. There were times when people thought he could be the second-coming in the city Chicago. He was supposed to take the NBA crown away from the likes LeBron James. Unfortunately, an injury changed the entire course his career. After bouncing around the league quite a bit, Rose landed with the Detroit Pistons in the fseason and has been quite good for them. Unfortunately, Rose suffered a right ankle sprain recently and had an MRI to check the severity it all.

According to Chris Haynes Yahoo Sports, Rose’s MRI came back negative which is good news. Despite this, he will still have to miss a few weeks action and will be re-evaluated in the coming weeks. At this point, it’s uncertain as to when he will be back in the lineup.

The Pistons had some potential this season but long losing streaks eventually squandered their playf chances. They are 12th in the Eastern Conference with a record 20-42. Moving forward, it’s pretty clear the team won’t make the playfs, especially if they lose Rose for the rest the season.

Regardless, it’s been good to see Rose playing like his old self again. It’s just unfortunate we won’t see as much it in this last stretch the season.
