Rose’s decision comes from his frustrations from constantly being injured. A team source tells ESPN, “He’s tired of being hurt and it’s taking a toll on him mentally.” In total, Derrick missed 11 out of 18 games for the season. The last seven missed games was due to a sprained left ankle. The last time he played was November 7th against the Milwaukee Bucks.
