Fears became reality on Monday, as the Bulls announced that Derrick Rose will miss the remainder of the 2013-14 season.
Rose underwent surgery to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee, after he suffered the injury in the third-quarter loss in Portland.
The procedure was performed at Rush University Medical Center by team physicians Dr. Brian Cole and Dr. Chuck Bush Joseph, and all signs are that Rose will be ready for next season.
