Rose injured the knee attempting to drive to the basket late in the Bulls’ 103-91 win over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 today. He was unable to leave the United Center floor on his own power.

This is the latest in a long progression of injuries this season for Rose, who has also hurt his toe, lower back, groin, ankle and foot this year. Rose played in just 39 of the Bulls’ 66 games this season; he averaged 21.8 points and 7.9 assists.
