Derrick Rose did not appear for Chicago Bulls practice on Saturday, according to a report.

Rose's absence on Saturday likely was not excused, as Bulls management has put pressure on him to return from his torn ACL, according to sources.


quote:

The consternation has arisen because a report has surfaced that Rose has been medically cleared to return to action.

Rumors that he’s being pressured to play have surfaced as well, even though Rose has told the team he doesn’t feel ready to take the court just yet.

Add in his brother’s comments from a couple of weeks back, and we have the makings of a full-blown controversy.

Honestly I can't imagine the Bulls wanting to risk something with Rose. Seems like he is being a huge bitch now. Is he this much of a puss?

Chicago radio has been killing Rose for weeks.

They have been counting the days. I think its 303 days now .. they continue to list all the players with this injury and when they came back. The pressure on him here is major.

So I'm not surprised he is pissed that shite is leaking to a media thats blasting him daily.

Get it done in the offseason

The Hornets organization has no qualms with sitting players.

I do question that they have to almost beg a guy to get back on the court but if youre the Bulls, why do you want to force him back out there for this season anyway? Hed likely be too rusty and cautious to win you anything this season, just let him come back next year

I can easily see this turning into a Dwight Howard type situation

There is no reason for him to play this season. Let him take the off season to get better mentally & physically prepared for the season.

Dude is a major pussy

Nut up and fricking play. Stop being such a bitch.

Physically he's fine, physiologically he's being a baby

How shitty of a teammate do you have to be to basically say you're not going to play because your team isn't good enough?

Best regular season record 2 years in a row
Currently 5th despite a ridiculous amount of injuries
2 of his teammates made the AS team

He's medically cleared to play. I'm sure the Bulls doctors would clear their franchise if he wasn't ready He is a huge pussy if he doesn't come back this season.

Haven't read this entire thread

But they don't have a prayer anyways and an ACL is not the same for everyone. I think he should just heal up and come back next year anyways.
