NBA players take to Twitter to offer Derrick Rose support, prayers
The news Tuesday night hit everyone like a ton of bricks: Derrick Rose needs knee surgery. Again.
Rose is out indefinitely after the Chicago Bulls announced he tore the medial meniscus in his right knee. There's no timeline for his return, and his season is in doubt.
Rose's fellow players were disappointed to learn of the news, but were quick to chime in with support and prayers for the injured point guard.
Man feel bad for D.Rose! Keep your head up homie and stay strong G!
