Rose announced Thursday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional basketball. Selected by the Bulls with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Rose immediately established himself as one of the game's top point guards upon entering the league. After claiming Rookie of the Year honors, Rose was named NBA MVP during his third season in 2010-11, becoming the youngest player in league history to win the award at 22 years old. Unfortunately for Rose, that 2010-11 campaign would prove to be his peak, with a torn ACL suffered during the 2012 playoffs and a meniscus injury suffered in November 2013 costing him nearly two full seasons and significantly altering the trajectory of his career. Rose never made another All-Star team after suffering the two major knee injuries, but the 35-year-old still turned in a productive 16-year career and was often a solid secondary scoring option across his stops with the Bulls, Knicks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Pistons and Grizzlies. Rose had been under contract with the Grizzlies heading into the 2024-25 season, but he requested his release earlier this week so that he could officially head into retirement.

Derrick Rose: Breaking News
Parting ways with Memphis
Rose (groin/back) was waived by the Grizzlies on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Rose missed the end of the 2023-24 campaign due to back and groin injuries, and it's not yet clear whether those issues will impact his availability for the start of the regular season this year. However, he'll need to seek out other opportunities with approximately a month remaining before Opening Night.
Expected to miss rest of season
Rose (groin/back) will likely miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Rose was given a three-week return timetable after being diagnosed with low back and groin soreness in early March. However, it doesn't make sense to rush the veteran back with the Grizzlies out of playoff contention. Rose struggled to stay healthy all season and made just 24 appearances (seven starts), averaging 8.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 16.6 minutes. Rose is under contract with the Grizzlies for one more season.
