Derrick Rose limped off the court with an apparent knee injury — his right knee, so not that knee — in the second half the Chicago Bulls’ game in Portland Friday night. The video above shows the play, a cut to the hoop that ended in Rose slowing down with an injury of the non-contact variety. It was a non-contact injury in the 2012 playoffs that turned out to be a torn ACL, ultimately forcing Rose to sit out the entire 2012-13 season.
#Bulls PR says Rose will not return due to a right knee injury. #CHIvsPOR

Thibodeau on Rose, who will have an MRI tomorrow: "He has pain and he felt like he couldn't push off his right knee."
