Over the last four National Basketball Association regular seasons, Bulls guard Derrick Rose played in only 100 of a possible 312 games because of injuries. The accuser’s legal team has previously alleged that Rose and his co-defendants entered her home without permission. “I will be proven innocent”, Rose began, “but, at the same time, it hasn’t affected anything”.

Rose’s hearing is set for February 2017 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
“The plaintiff says she escaped the house with a friend, but later that night, Rose and his friends broke into her apartment and gang-raped her while she was incapacitated”, added TMZ.
While it is easy to question Rose’s ability to stay healthy given that long list of physical setbacks, many of his injuries occurred in freak plays that could theoretically happen to anyone.
“This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shake down a highly respected and successful athlete”, Mark Baute said in a statement.
Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose is injured yet again. As a result, Rose will have surgery on his left eye Wednesday.
Rose obtained the injury when he took an elbow to the face.
The Bulls did all of that and more during the offseason, which ended with Monday’s media day and the start of training camp with double practice sessions Tuesday. Rose tore the ACL in his left knee in April 2012, forcing him to miss the entire 2012-13 season and then tore the medial meniscus in his right knee in November 2013, missing the rest of the 2013-14 season as well.
“You see all the money that they’re passing out in this league – just telling the truth, just knowing that my day will be coming up soon”, he said. “It’s not for me, it’s for [son] P.J. and his future.so that’s what I’m thinking about right now”.
Rose says the woman got even angrier with him because he started ignoring her texts.
The Chicago Bulls player, however, clarified that he would not take his talent elsewhere, but would stick with his present team.
“It’s not true. This whole summer I had tunnel vision”. I don’t know if I can answer that question today.

Rose, a Chicago native who was the first overall pick in the 2008 draft, helped the Bulls win 50 games last season and make it to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
