Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose went down late in the Bulls’ 100-93 win over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night, sending NBA fans and the blog-o-sphere into a tizzy because, well, it’s another Derrick Rose injury. The good news (it appears) is that Rose tweaked his hamstring, and that there are no plan for an MRI. Still, this is roughly about the same time last year that he went down with a torn meniscus, so it was deja vu all over again — something NBA fans are, sadly, used to at this point.
No MRI planned for Rose. He said it was minor, and more of a cramp.
