Once one of the league’s most dynamic and electric players, Rose simply hasn’t been able to stay healthy for a good five years thanks to a series of major knee injuries. His latest issue is an ankle problem that will keep him out for a while.

It’s worth noting that the 29-year-old has had his commitment to basketball questioned in the past, though he has vocally disputed reports of retirement at those points. It sounds like this time may really be it, though.
