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.
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Derrick Rose (groin) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Philadelphia and won't be back in the lineup any time soon after the team announced that the former MVP will be re-evaluated in three weeks. Rose has been diagnosed with right osteitis pubis. The injury-prone guard has made only 24 appearances this season, so his absence won't be anything new for the team. The Grizzlies backcourt has been decimated by injuries, leaving Luke Kennard and Vince Williams Jr. in charge of the offense. Kennard also tends to be out of the lineup quite often, so it's possible another name pops up back there as we enter the final few weeks of the 2023-24 regular season.
