Derrick Rose's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Grizzlies waived guard Derrick Rose on Monday. The 35-year-old appeared in 24 regular season contests for Memphis last season, averaging 8.0 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.9 rebounds. With one year left on his former deal, he requested his release, indicating his intention to remain playing. Without question, Rose's best days are well behind him. However, he was semi-productive in his seven starts with the Grizzlies in 2023-24, so he could have value at times during the 2024-25 campaign.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Derrick Rose (groin, back) is planning to be back on the court with the team next season. The former MVP signed a two-year deal with the Grizzlies last summer and appears to have no plans of retiring despite another injury-riddled season. Rose, who will turn 36 in early October, played his final game of the campaign on Feb. 28 and ended up featuring just 24 times for the Grizzlies. He averaged 8.0 points and 3.3 assists in 16.6 minutes as a bench piece. He will likely be used even more sparingly next season, with a number of younger players on the rise in Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (groin) hasn't appeared in a game since February 28 and it looks as though he won't be returning for the rest of the season. According to Damichael Cole, since there are only two weeks remaining in the season and the Grizzlies are already eliminated from playoff contention, Rose is unlikely to take the court again this year. Since he's missed a lot of time, this won't affect that much of the rotation, and a lot of the younger players that have been seeing time will continue to do so. Desmond Bane, Scottie Pippen Jr., and Jake LaRavia should all continue to get more opportunities for the rest of this season.
