Derrick Rose away from Cavs, evaluating future in NBA

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland Cavaliers guard Derrick Rose has left the team and is seriously re-evaluating his future in the NBA, league sources told ESPN.

There is growing uncertainty inside and outside the franchise about whether he will return to the team, league sources said.

Nevertheless, Rose's increasing frustration with injuries is causing him to consider his desire to continue playing in the league, sources said.

One team source told ESPN of Rose: "He's tired of being hurt and it's taking a toll on him mentally."

Since suffering a torn left ACL in the Chicago Bulls' opening game of the 2012 playoffs, Rose has been plagued with injuries, playing in just 237 out of a possible 412 regular-season games.

Rose was last with the Cavs for Monday's 116-88 win in Detroit. According to a team spokesman, his current absence from the team is excused.

Last season, Rose went missing from the New York Knicks on a game day without permission from the organization. He was fined by the Knicks and apologized to his teammates when he returned the next day.

"That was a family issue," Rose explained at the time. "For one, it had nothing to do with the team or basketball. But that's the first time I ever felt like that emotionally, and I had to be with my family."

A Cavs spokesman said Rose's current absence is different than the Knicks situation because he is not an active player and he communicated with the franchise at the outset of his leave.

One week ago, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said Rose would be out "at least" the next two weeks because of his ankle injury. Rose rolled the ankle on October 20 when he landed awkwardly following a flagrant foul from then-Milwaukee Bucks big man Greg Monroe.

Cleveland put Rose in a walking boot last week in hopes of alleviating pressure on his left foot.

"Just a jacked-up ankle," Rose told ESPN at the time. "I'm just trying to figure it out, bro. Right now, it's just a jacked-up ankle. Just sore. I'm getting a lot of treatment for it, and tonight will be my first time wearing a boot. So I'll wear this, for I don't know how long, to see how it helps."

Rose is averaging 14.3 points on 47 percent shooting (23.1 percent from 3), 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists this season. He signed a veteran's minimum contract with the Cavs in the offseason.

Rose has always been a clown.

Just because a guy is frustrated by his constant injuries doesn't make him a clown. I feel bad for the guy, and it would frustrate any one of us if you couldn't stay healthy no matter what you did.

Actually, he is. Dude was never about the game. It was about getting paid.

Being in a contract year, I had hoped we were getting the best basketball version of him while he was here but I was obviously wrong.

Karma is a bitch.

Had to show his teammates that he could dunk during warmups as well. This is also while he's talking about getting his next big contract. Same kind of teammate who would go AWOL on his team.

Just glad we got Kanter after Lopez was traded for him. Hope the Knicks aren't dumb enough to make the same mistake twice, and trade another quality center.

Hope he is okay.

wtf are you talking about? Where has it been reported that he may be suffering from a mental illness?
