Derrick injures knee, out for season

Derrick Rose suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in Saturday’s 103-91 playoff win over the 76ers. The injury will force Derrick to miss the rest of the season, the team announced Saturday.

Rose had 23 points, nine rebounds and nine assists before suffering the injury with 1:22 left in the game.

There is currently no timetable for a return to the court.

Get well soon Derrick!

Luis Ramos | on 2/6/12

Dear Derrick Rose:

I’m your fan #1 from Puerto Rico. I bet everybody that Chicago would be the NBA’s Champion this year so know everybody is annoying me because you guys got eliminated. I just tell them to be ready for next year because i know you’ll come back and you’ll have your best season ever play. I’ve got all your jersey and i got your shoes too. I admire you and when i see you play, I see myself because we both play alike. I’m not afraid of going down, once i do that first no one can stop me. I do all your movements since i was little and i know how to hide the ball pretty well. I want you back in the court so get well dear D.

Jared Thomas Silva | on 1/6/12

Derrick Rose i am your biggest fan ever no kidding i really hope you get better

Sincerely, Jared

Derek Sachs | on 30/5/12

Hey Mr. Rose hope your back on the court soon. I just recently tore my ACL and miniscus in a snowboarding accident in March. I’ve been doing physical therapy and swimming and mountain-biking to stay in shape. I get a lot of negative things from ppl saying ill never be able to play soccer again. I just ignore those people. Im going to try to push myself to play college ball for the 2nd season comming in fall (soccer). What are the most helpfull excersizes your training staff makes you do???

thanos | on 30/5/12

I wish you be back soon. Here in Greece you are our most popoular player ,we admire except your best skill your low profile.My friend you are the best example for our children we thank you for this.Hope come back soon we miss you

Buddy young | on 29/5/12

I believe u can come back form this knee injury because u made a killer comeback in ’09-‘10. No one thought u could but I knew u come because u love the sport more than anything just like me. I got the up-most confidence in you D. Rose. U got this. Hard work and dedication will get you along way.

Keith Hill | on 29/5/12

D I first want to thank you for a great season everyone is rooting for you this coming season. I make it to the stadium 10-12 times a year to support you and the rest of the team. I know that you probably get these request all the time but my son is a freshman at Joliet Catholic and he was a star in grade but did not make the high school team I tell him he has to believe in himself and not to give up could you just write a note and give some words of encouragement. His name is Oscar Romello Reyna. Thanks D and you are in our prayers we are rooting for you.

Noel Arike | on 27/5/12

Miss Thang | on 27/5/12

Good well soon. I hope you have a long and prosperous NBA career after the rehab. Hey Derrick, have you ever thought about doing Yoga? I think it will be good for you since you are such an explosive player. Hurry back, that Evan Turner is getting a little too surly, you need to put him back in his place :)

Mike Mitch | on 26/5/12

Why the coach for the Bulls would keep the MVP in the game even when they were winning by a landslide still makes me confused. He should have let him rest and waited for the next game.Get well soon Derrick.

terrance edwards | on 26/5/12

Hi derrick i’m really sad what happen to you. i’m your biggest fan and i want you to get better soon. you’re one of the goodest players on the team and you’re like a god father to me. Will you return to the team soon. Good luck?

Hey Derrick hows it going. Ive been a fan of your since i was in 7h grade and thats when you became a freshman at simeon. My coach took us to watch a game of yours and I was amazed at how good you were. Ive been a fan of yours for 9 years. Its great to have you in Chicago. I happy your surgery went good and i hope your PT goes great too. Get Back Soon and Don’t be in a rush take your time your spot is always there. Ive seen you a couple times in person, it would be great to actually meet you in person and just talk about anything, it doesn’t have to be about basketball just anything. Would that be possible? Bulls for life!!

Windsor Henry | on 14/5/12

Gabriela Valle | on 9/5/12

I am a mother of an 11 year old who loves Derrick Rose and Basketball. I started watching Basketball with my son because it was exciting to watch Derrick Rose. I am a huge fan, and I was so sad to hear Derrick was injured. My prayers are with you Derrick for a speedy recovery. The NBA needs you….:)

B-EZ | on 9/5/12

ROZAY!!!!! I’m definitely your biggest fan in NY/NJ. Hurt me heart to see you go down. You’re a good dude, my favorite player, and the reason I started watching the NBA again. A mighty mouse taking it to the bigs with those sick dunks and poohdini layins. You battled a lot this season with various injuries and the refs not giving you the respect an MVP deserves. Take this time to get stronger and focus on injury prevention. Im in the gym, everyday going hard and i always put in an extra set thinking about your recovery and how you will come back. Love ya boy!!

JTWilliams | on 9/5/12

D- I’ve never felt so heartbroken over a sports team then when you went down in game 1. I know you all have worked so hard to make another playoff run and earn a chance at a title. The worst part is all the analysts questioning whether you’ll ever be the same player again. You worked so hard to become the MVP, the best PG in the league, and maybe the single most popular player in the NBA. I knew in your rookie year that you’d be that player, and I know you’ll do it again.

I’ve never been so inspired by a man who plays a game with a ball! Can’t wait to see you lighting people up again on the court. be patient & keep faith. You’re fans will be waiting with anticipation!

Marissa R. Ebuiza | on 9/5/12

Hi Derrick!!!its good to see you watching the game even if your on the top row of the arena…still love it!!!hope you go nearer your teammates so that they can feel your presence more closer and for them to get more inspiration in playing.i’ll pray for you and your recovery soon…Godbless always and love lots!!!

Teasia Hunter | on 8/5/12

Troy | on 8/5/12

Get well soon Derrick. Everyone in the city could tell how badly you wanted to play this season.The thing is Derrick as much as you have given to the community already (HOPE, money, inspiration ,entertainment and pride) you dont owe us anything…Take a year off rehab and come back 100 percent..Peace and blessings to you and your family…...by the way I myself had a terrible triad tear wearing Lebrons..so forget that stuff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3o_IZGtLHA. praying for you to get through this even though it seems hard and times you may not even want to pray. Ive been there. This is the time to press into him even more, and ima be praying for you and your family to pull through this. We may not understand why things happen the way they do, but seek him and later it shall be revealed. keep fighting. Sat behind the bulls bench when yall just played detroit, and wanted to hand you a spiritual card then..but cant/couldnt but this song was in the card…hind sight is 20/20…get better D… another song is Donnie Mcclurklin song “STAND”—- thats all you can do at the end of the day—GOD BLESS

kimberly clark | on 7/5/12

;( after what had happened with the game 1 i was so happy coz they got to win and very dismayed cuz d.rose got hurt and with all the news that he’s not able to play the rest of the game and hopefully not the rest of the playoffs..otherwise i am confident for all the bulls player that they can overcome this without the mvp himself..keep on praying guyz .. godbless

Aj | on 7/5/12

Pray for ROSE, he is our leader.:)

- Get well SOON. See Red. :)

Melanie | on 7/5/12

hey DRose! Im a 15 year old girl and basketball is my life. Your my biggest role model and when i heard about u tearing ur acl my heart sank. I know what a torn acl feels like, in fact 2 torn acl“s actually! Right now im in the midle of rehab on my 2nd acl tear. Sometimes i think it takes more mental strength than physical strength to overcome an injury like this. Rehab will be hard work! I truly believe that with hard work youll be able to come back playing better than ever! Keep your head up and good luck!!! I love you DRose!!!

hamdi rose | on 7/5/12

Hiiiiiii derrick rose i just want to ask you can you come to kosovo after you’ll be ready to play basketboll , and arfe you going to play in olympics in summer ?

Jamie Smith | on 7/5/12

Just felt compelled to leve a message for Derrick. I’ve been a Bulls fan my entire life. I gre up during the Jordan era and witnessed the down years afterwards. I’ve watched your entire career and you’ve given us Bulls fans reason to puff out our chests again. I’m a transplanted Chicagoan living in Atlanta. I’ve ordered the NBA package every year you’ve been with the Bulls so I can witness history in the making. You’ve been a breath of fresh air for us fans. From the humble way you carry yourself, the way you speak of you mother and brothers just your whole demanor. I hated to see you go down with that ACL injury. I pray that you have a speedy and full recovery…keep your head up D. Rose.

Jerisha Alexander | on 7/5/12

Oo my Gosh My Baby Got Hurt Iwas So Mad When I Heard That But i Will Always Know You Will Get Well Soon IloveYouDerrickRose <3

Dominic Bausby | on 7/5/12

Jasun | on 7/5/12

My mates and I in Australia are all praying for you, God Bless. You have been my favourite player since you entered the league three years ago, and you are my inspiration to keep working on my game. It was really upsetting to see you go down against Philly, especially with the condensed season, but I’m sure your success will only continue further when you get healthy and back on the court next season. Good luck with your recovery, we will be following you the whole way. GO BULLS

Archell E. Rigos | on 7/5/12

hey derrick how are you, so sad of what happen to you… im praying for your recovery… my 7 year old son is also a superfan of you… my husband too.

This is your biggest challenge yet, Derrick – like Jordan after he broke his foot in 85. We all know you’ll come back stronger and smarter. You got the whole city behind you!

Sabrina | on 5/5/12

Get better Derrick Rose! I’m terribly sorry for your injury, and it must be pretty devastating to miss the post-season but keep your head up. There’ll be other opportunities in the future as well. Focus on what you can do, and not what you can’t control.

Rishi P. | on 4/5/12

It ‘s heartbreaking man. You worked so HARD to get back in the lineup, and it went to no good. Drose you’ve been my inspiration ever since you played on varsity for simeon, and seeing your hometown hero go down like that is just painful. You’ve done so much for the city, your mom, and the fans thats why it is so difficult to process. But I have no doubt you can come back even stonger. I mean why can’t you right, why can’t you do that. Just get better, and soon…. bulls nation needs you!

Jackie Chen | on 3/5/12

Hey DRose, I personally feel bad for you. This ACL tear shouldn’t of, because Tom Thibodeau put you in at 1:22 and then got you an ACL tear, while you guys had the lead.

finesse fernands | on 3/5/12

hey derrick ur my basketball idol and im 12 years old i hope u get better wen i heard u torn ur acl i started cryin cuz i think bulls didnt win heat cuz u werent in the game but it makes me sad that u have an injury n i hope to see u in a game one day love u bye
:( :)

Molly | on 3/5/12

I’m a 12-year old girl. While playing my championship basketball game as point guard, I fell and felt a pop in my knee. I was on the ground for awhile and then my coach picked me up and carried me to the bench. I was put in a wheelchair and taken to my car. We went to the ER and I got crutches and a knee braces. A week or so passed after countless doctor appointments and MRI’s and it was for sure I had torn my ACL in my left like, just like you! I just got surgery about a week ago. Crazy, right?! I’m a huge fan and I find it interesting we did the same exact thing, playing the same sport! :)

Marshall Shelley | on 3/5/12

Derrick I am praying for you and your family to have a swift and ful recovery! You are an inspiration to many and a beloved person and NBA superstar! I wish you much contined success and please dont ever change.

P.S. My son and I made you a poster 2 years ago and he really would love to give it to you I cant afford the games right now but I hope to oneday present it to you in person. God Bless you! Keep your head up!

Frank | on 1/5/12

Hi Derrick Rose I’m a HUGE fan of yours and the Chicago Bulls. You inspire me to be the best. With that said…it sucks that you got injured and stuff during the 76ers game you were looking like an MVP again after all the injuries you sustained during this shortened season. It’s really unfortunate that this happened. I hope you get well and that you recover soon. The Bulls are going to win though we have a good team. Good luck on your recovery.

Andre Walker | on 1/5/12

I am a die hard Philadelphia fan, from the Ice, to the hardwood. One thing I like to believe is that a true fan, as well as player, has a great sense of respect for other great fans and players. Watching you go down like that during game one was a heart breaker for me. I wish you not only a speedy recovery, but I wish you the greatest success in the NBA. So sit tight, maintain a positive spirit and attitude, and you’ll be back on the court before you know it. Much respect to one of the greatest..

your brother from Philly.

Kobe Rodgers | on 1/5/12

It was sad to see my favorite player go down. But i know with the heart Derrick has he will be okay. I’ll keep you in my prayers, and hopefully you will return healthy.
Get well soon D-Rose.

Brian Lam | on 1/5/12

Get well soon, Rose!

Khanh Tran | on 30/4/12

Take your time and recover completely, and in a year’s time, come back stronger than ever MVP.

This sucks, but knowing the great spirit and positive person you are this will only make you better so Get Well Soon Pooh!! Prayers and Faith <3

Aria | on 30/4/12

Hello Derrick.I am so sorry that you got injured,I’m not interested in watching the playoffs now that you won’t be playing in them.You are so humble and classy and talented! don’t ever change who you are,always stay true to yourself,I hope and pray that you make a full and speedy recovery.Take all the time you need to heal because all of your true fans will be right here waiting for you when you return,just continue to keep God first and everything will work out for the best.Get well soon and God Bless you.

Rowena S | on 30/4/12

Derrick whatever happen you will always be my MVP. I will miss you. I will pray for your speedy recovery.Take care of yourself.

N | on 30/4/12

It feels like a little brother or younger family member has been hurt. You want to go back and erase the incident; but you can’t. Derrick’s physical pain was felt throughout the city of Chicago. The same city wishes you a speedy and healthy recovery. May God guide the skilled hands of the surgeons as they repair your knee.

Derrick is such a humble young man in league of men who don’t have Derrick’s class in one finger.So humble. So talented. So much more deserving then others. You are an example of what many of us hope that our sons and brothers will become. I can’t think of enough good things to say about you Derrick. God bless you.

Johnny Gonzalez | on 30/4/12

Hey Derrick my thoughts and prayers are with you, I wish you a safe and speedy recovery. Watching basketball won’t be the same without you on the court, your my favorite player you brought The Chi back on the map. Stay strong my man!

Danica Marie | on 30/4/12

I know you’ll be back stronger than ever. My prayers are out to you and your family. :) Bulls fans are always here to support you and the whole team. stay strong! God is always with us. :)

Derrick I know u have it in u to be able to fight through adverse and come back TOO BIG ,TOO STRONG ,TOO FAST, TOO GOOD.

Nick | on 30/4/12

Derrick,

Life throws many challenges- these become opportunities which although initially there may be scares and memories, injuries heal and memories eventually fade into a dull murmur. What remains is a strong reminder of that which our heart and soul desires. So long as these remain genuine, from this experience you will do more than heal. I wish you all the positivity in the world in your healing journey and beyond. =)

Nick

Bridgemon Marshall | on 30/4/12

Man it hurts to see you injured. Keep your head up and me and including more of your fans are praying for a speedy recovery. I cant wait to see you come back and play even harder! I still have faith in the Bulls and expect for you guys to win the Championship. And when yall do…I definitely want to see you hold up that trophy!! Get well soon D ROSE!!

abel | on 30/4/12

get well wish u a fast recovery

Maxine Davis | on 30/4/12

I am a seniior citizen and I soo enjoy watching you play. I left a message for you on fb and I’m leaving one here. When you go through something like this be careful who you keep around. God permits somethings, and I have found that ev erything He permits, He gives you grace to deal with!! You are a great man..and your inner greatness will grow beyond this blip on your life screen.. There will be plenty more playoff games and you will play in them…Be Blessed

David | on 30/4/12

Derrick i know your dealing with your recent ACL injury but i think God has put it on my heart to tell you to stay strong. There have been a lot of players that have dealt with acl injurys and quit soon afterwards. PLEASE DONT LEAVE THE NBA, your an amazing player with incredible talent and EXTREME work ethic. Think back to Jordan when he had his knee injury, he slowing worked and healed it and made it stronger. Please Derrick Dont quit the NBA, i have high hopes for you and the bulls and i know youll make it through and youll come back better than ever. Stay strong and have faith in God that he will help you through this.
God Bless

annmarie welser | on 30/4/12

Derrick, stay strong and carry on. Injuries heart breaking but iknow that if anyone can get through this it is you. All of chicago is rooting for your recovery, and when you come back we know you’ll be better than ever.

Ariana | on 30/4/12

I Hope You Get Batter Baby (: ♥ ;*

Fatema Arefi | on 30/4/12

Dear Derrick,

I can’t even imagine what you are going through right now. I also can’t say that I know how you feel, because I don’t. However I can say, stay positive and keep your head up. Sometimes things like this happen and we wonder, why? But honestly, it only happens to the good and strong and that is why you will survive and overcome this obstacle and challenge in your life. I have no doubt in my mind that you will recover 100% and come back to the game you love stronger and better than ever!

We will be rooting for you through the surgery, rehab, etc. I also have no doubt in my mind that the our Chicago Bulls will succeed and achieve their goals no matter what people say or write about them being without their MVP. They have won without you and they will continue to do so. Everyone will need to step up!

I’m originally from Chicago and have ALWAYS been a Bulls fan. I’m a huge sports fan in general. I also work for SDSU in intercollegiate athletics, therefore I’m very passionate! As a fan, I was extremely saddened when you went down on Saturday. I’ve been watching you since your Memphis days and have enjoyed your game year after year. I can’t wait until you’re back and healthy D-Rose!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery Mr. MVP <3

Fatema

Lake | on 30/4/12

even the strong fall sometimes. But even though he’s out for the rest of the season his team, i believe will still be able to win it all. and does this mean he’s out for the 2012 Olympics?

Ugomma O. | on 30/4/12

I hope you get better and recover very soonD- Rose ! Take care of yourself! speedy recovery! MY MVP!!! Wish you and the BULLS the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Megan Morrison | on 30/4/12

I play volleyball for my high school, and I tore my ACL and MCL at practice last week (April 22nd). I’m hopefully having surgery in the next couple weeks, but I’ll be out my junior season for my high school team. I know the pain you’re going through, but anyone who has this engery has to be physically and mentally tough. I know you have it in you! Good luck with your surgery, and I hope you bounce back into your sport just like I do.

leon | on 30/4/12

I am Leon from Maryland and my mother always calls you her second son a.k.a my twin and when you got injured it was the same feeling when a grenade blew up in my face when I was in the Army.You and your family are in my prayers and I am 100% sure you will bounce back from this injury and prove all the doubters wrong. Win or Lose Bulls All Day Every Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

james spencer perry | on 30/4/12

dude im so sorry this season has turned out this way for you man but your still the best at what you do and you’ll make it through it thanks for being such a positive role model d rose your the best man god bless and have a speedy recovery

Michal | on 30/4/12

Hi Derrick, I am writing this comment just to let You know that I am with You in this tough situation and praying for You every day. It was devastating to watch but I am 100% sure that You will be back stronger and better than ever before!!!!!! Just let You know that Your fans from Poland wishing You all the best!!!

Drew | on 30/4/12

Derrick, man what a season it’s been for you. You should know that you have fans across the country and even around the world who’s heart sunk in the last two minutes of your game. It’s been a really unlucky season for you and your team with all of the injuries. But take the time you need to recuperate and bounce back. We ALL have faith that you will be 100% come next season. I’m still rooting for Chicago to be champs this year. Your one of the hardest workers and I know that rehab isn’t going to be a walk in the park, but honestly, it’s no match for your mentality. Rest your knee and cheer on your team for now. Next year you guys are gonna kill it.

P.S. I’m still sportin your jersey

Kacia | on 30/4/12

Im soo sorry for what happen to D. Rose and i hope and wish you wellness and success .. Love always and forever .Kacia Muhammad <3

Stacey Ellis | on 30/4/12

The playoffs won’t be the same without you. I am still rooting for the Bulls and a speedy recovery for you. I know the big question in your mind is, “Why me?” Who knows why bad things happen to good people, but hold on to your faith. With the support of your family, friends and the Bulls organization you’ll return stronger than ever. God bless.

Derrick, read the Book of Job. This came to mind during my bible study time today. God has a purpose for you. Stand back and watch what He has in store for you and the Bulls. Keep your head up Presevere and above all, trust Him. You are going to be fine. Your team and teammates will be fine. Believe it!

A tried and true fan who has been running with The Bulls all season, proudly.

Derrick, I know that God will use you in a mighty way to continue to be an inspiration to young players not to give up in spite of hardship and obstacles. Praying for your healing and recovery. May God restore you to full health and bless you with many more years of success, and bless us with enjoyment in seeing you play with the team again soon!

I’m bummed and sorry that this happened I can’t wait tell Derrick returns healthy

Erica Matthews | on 30/4/12

Hi derrick rose. I was just checking in on my number 1 player to see how you were doing. I know how you feel because I tore my ACL/MCL the same way you did. I can’t say I feel the exact same way you did but I do know how you feel. Getting injured really sucks but it’s a part of basketball. Everything happens for a reason. I’m used to it, I prepare for it. Like I say, at the end of the day, only the strongest survived. I know your probably thinking why me? How could this happen to me? Those are all the things that I asked, but you have to stay positive because those are questions you will never find an answer to. I never let my injuries get to me because I knew that I would come back stronger than before. Surgery wasn’t that bad besides the fact I couldn’t walk for about a week in a half. Rehab is hard but you got to stay positive and focus because I had it just about every day and had like 2days off, it was frustrating at times but I stuck it out and I feel stronger than before. Its times when you want to give up but as long as you have someone pushing you you`ll be fine. I know giving up is not in your blood. BLOOD, SWEAT, HARDWORK, AND TEARS run through your veins. Keep pushing yourself to get back to do what you love. I love watching you play, because you are my idol. Hope to hear from you soon. GET WELL SOON DERRICK ROSE

Augusto | on 30/4/12

Kalia Honey | on 30/4/12

Since you are out of the playoffs, in the Offseason, you should practice and push yourself ten times better just so you can get that knee going. I know you can do it, because I did it when I torn my ACL and im only 12 years old and you are in the NBA. ‘‘Be the Inspiration, Be the MVP.’‘

Karen Globke | on 30/4/12

Wishing you a speedy recovery Derrick! I have confidence in your determination to come back from this injury with great success. You have lead the Bulls to a stellar season and will do so in the years to come. You will be missed, by not only Bulls fans but fans of the NBA. Get well soon Derrick!

A very dedicated fan,
-Karen

Paul Menenedez | on 30/4/12

Mr. Rose I am a 53 year old gentleman married with 2 daughters who played D1 sports. Watched you play at Simeon, college and pro. You have always represented yourself and your family with great class, respect, and humbleness. You have made your family proud. Derrick just wanted you to know you are in our prayers and you will be back stronger and better than before. We wish you the very best young man and if you ever need anyone to rebound for you as your shot comes back give a call, it would be an honor. Stay who you are, stay strong, work hard, and know there are many many behind you wishing the best.

Jenay Coker | on 30/4/12

Andrea Chambers | on 30/4/12

Hi Derrick, i just want to know that everything is going to be fine and stay positive.

I am 39 years old, i have a son, i just lost my house and i am losing my job in June, but i am going to stay positive and keep it moving and that is what you should do. Have surgery,physical therapy and all the things you need to do to get better.

Get well soon Derrick!!!!!!!!

MVP!!!!

Jimar Virtudazo | on 30/4/12

My Name Is Jimar and I am only 14 years old and I admire Derrick Rose for 3 years now . I feel so bad for Derrick Rose for the Knee Injury . He shouldn’t have forced to play when there’s only 1:22 time remaining in the game . The Chicago Bulls have been so good for this year but when Rose is out for the Playoffs . They will only have a small amount of percentage to make it onto the Finals . I hope they’ll do their best and I hope Derrick Rose gets well and gets back soon !

Janice | on 30/4/12

sucks that you get hurt:(
i’ll be praying for your speedy recovery…^.*

Hey Derrick, I was completely devastated to see you go down like that brother, but contrary to what some may think I know you will come back stronger than ever. Man please hook up with Tim Grover…this man has worked wonders on helping NBAplayers recover from injuries.

God is with you and you can overcome this tremendous setback to play again if that is what you want to do.

First thing is your health, you are a hell of a guy and may God get you back fully healthy.

Samantha | on 29/4/12

Derrick I pray God’s Word over you. “By His stripes, ye are healed!” Be encouraged because the best is yet to come! So hold on to God and always remember that He keeps all of His Promises. “I am not a man that I should lie” “My Word will not return unto me void. It will set out to do exactly what I said.” I know you love the Lord. Just remember that He loved you first! What He has spoken over your life and into your spirit & soul will come to pass! Because he knew you and called you before you were in your mother’s womb. So be healed, be at peace and be blessed:) Know that ALL thinkgs work together for good to them that love the Lord and are the called according to His purpose!! Finally take comfort in this, millions are praying for you but only One CAN & WILL answer. His Name is Jesus! From a most loyal Chicago Bulls Fan…LETS GO BULLS!!!! LETS GO BULLS!!!! I WILL 4EVER BELIEVE IN YOU!!! PEACE...

Aiden Blake | on 29/4/12

I am a die hard Bulls fan and a Die hard fan of you. i was wondering could you play if the Bulls made it to the Finals.

Phyl | on 29/4/12

My 9-year-old grandson is a loyal fan of yours. He perhaps has more sympathy for you right now than anyone else: he was also injured in a basketball game on Saturday and will be wearing a cast up to his knee for the next 6 weeks. He’d just played in his first soccer game of the season last week (he scored 3 goals) and will now miss the rest of the season. I know he’s concerned about your injury, but you have thousands of people wishing you well and his is just one small voice. It would mean a great deal to him if you could take a moment to call or e-mail him. If you’re able to do this, I will send you his contact information privately. Thank you and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
