Grizzlies Announce Injury Update on Derrick Rose

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose left Friday's game vs. the Houston Rockets

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose left Friday night's game against the Houston Rockets with what the team announced is left hamstring soreness. Rose has of course battled injuries throughout the course of his career, including this season with Memphis, so there is always concern any time he is forced to leave a game early. 

As of right now, this is the extent of what Memphis has announced on Rose's injury, but additional information could become available later on once the veteran point guard has been evaluated further by the team's medical staff. 

The Grizzlies are already incredibly shorthanded, with Ja Morant of course sidelined due to his suspension, and several other rotation players being out with different injuries. While Rose is of course not the player he was in his prime, he is still a very serviceable rotation guard for Memphis, and has been relied on even more than they anticipated when first signing him. 

With so many injuries to the Grizzlies roster, Rose has been called upon to play some key minutes when he has been healthy, so it will be very unfortunate for him and the team if he is forced to miss any extended time with this hamstring issue. 

As previously mentioned, the extent of what the Grizzlies have announced is that this is hamstring soreness for Rose. More information will likely become available later on.
