Derrick Rose back injury: No structural damage, still day-to-day
by your friendly BullsBlogger on Feb 13, 2012 4:47 PM CST
Email
PrintBack specialist confirmed Bulls' diagnosis of DRose. Lower back spasms. Nothing structurally wrong with back. Muscular issue. Day-to-day.
That doesn't really say much, but it does say what it isn't: nothing crazy, season ending, etc. So that's good.
As far as updates for this week's games, I expect bullcrap from Thibs and we'll find out at tipoff. Don't want the those Sacramento Kings prepared!

I was starting to get real scared about this back thing.
Good Lord
Thibs really needs to stick to tailored suits, guy is just gross.

Thank God.
To be honest, we are getting pretty lucky with these injuries this year. Deng is able to play, and it seems after some rest Rose will be able to play. The only injury i’m concerned about is Hamilton’s. And, my worry isn’t even about his actual injury but about his conditioning and ability to ball after being out this long. I forget he is even on the team at times.
well cause he hasn't even been with the team in a bit
dealing with a personal issue away from the team while rehabbing. so it’s not like he’s even been a presence on the bench.
if he can stay healthy in the second half of the season, not too worried about getting his conditioning right for when it really matters…
Look
I didn’t want to offend anyone by saying the "f" word or generalizing my statement to any particular sex by saying "gays" or lesbians" or "bi’s" so "homos" is the most "politically correct" term. I’m just trying to be more tact in a tactless blog.

I'm glad this isn't serious. Hopefully he rests it properly and he's good to go. Maybe his
toe will get better too.
On the J.R. Smith bandwagon until otherwise advised.

yeah, especially
since it seems like these back issues have arisen from him compensating for his toe and all that. so maybe if his toe gets improves, he’s less likely to reaggravate this injury as well.

I think one begets the other...
The injured toe puts more pressure on the back…lets rest him until April!
New signature coming...but its a process.
I'm 30. I've had lower-back issues since I was 19
I’ve dealt with back spasms for 10 years. What Rose needs is 1) rest and 2) flexeril.
If the spasms are anywhere near as bad as mine were at their worst (trip to ER), he needs to be on muscle relaxers for at least 10 days. The most strenuous activity he should be doing is stretching, and getting massages or ultrasound to stimulate blood flow.
If he plays tomorrow I will be pissed.

i hate flexiril..worst wake up feeling in the world
what worked for me was ibuprofen 800mg, rest & chiro…plus alot of streching exercise & massage 9like you said)
Yeah it sucks. It makes you tired, but that's what muscle relaxers do.
After I went to the ER I was on Flexeril and hydrocodone for the pain for two weeks, after which I was basically a functioning person again.
I still have a carisoprodol prescription for when spasms keep me up at night.
Can’t imagine being an NBA player with these issues. Crazy.

It seems like the FO finally woke the fuck up
http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/7572229/chicago-bulls-derrick-rose-undergoes-mri
Gar:
Seeing how he responds to the therapy. And when we feel, he feels, that he’s well enough to go back on the floor (he’ll return)."
Sounds like my favorite FO guy is finally taking ownership and realizing the team’s future is at stake here. I predict we won’t be seeing him back until the ASG, and then he’ll play real games after that.
In a sense, I think the ASG would be a good tuneup for him to see if he’s fine without any pressure.

Getting in the inevitable
bad back because he carries this team out of the way.
On the real tip though
For the last 24-48 hours I’ve been seeing the entire Bulls future flashing before my eyes. Staving off depression and thinking about a Bulls team without D-Rose. After hearing he’s going to be fine, I now have this realization that maybe I was taking this dude for granted. Never again.
Appreciate every move/every play/every shot, because in this damn league – especially with this season from hell – you never know when it could be the last. This kid is once in a lifetime.

Well, to be fair
You would have had to have been born a bit earlier to actually enjoy/remember the Jordan years.
i lived and enjoyed the jordan years, yes
but technically you could argue that some people were born earlier. so im speaking on their behalf. even though i’m not. yeah.

Well I didn't, but I wouldn't call Rose once in a lifetime
he’s very good, don’t get me wrong, but once in a lifetime is stretching it.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
i wouldn't either
but based solely on the fact he has been in the league for 4 years. He has gotten my hopes up though, the league was dead to me in 1999-2000.

As the Blog-a-bull community...
Lets out a sigh of collective relief. Any other news would have basically meant the season was over. Sounds like he will get rest.
Hopefully, he can skip the All-Star weekend and relax all the way into March.
New signature coming...but its a process.
Am I the only one almost MORE nervous because it is "just back spasms"?
Derrick is going to instantly think he can play through it and may end up hurting it worse. If the team doesn’t really put their foot down and tell him to rest, Bulls fans should really let them hear it.

Fact. Actually, after some of the other Rose quotes this week, I think he will do the right thing. It seems like he understands that it got worse when he tried to play through it. You never know though, but no structural damage is great news.
What I mean is that it has clearly been hurting him severely, and that sounded like a pinched nerve to me
I didn’t mean that he had broken a vertebrae or something, but that diagnosis of “back spasms” can be taken several ways, especially for an athlete like Rose.
I truly do think he will just brush it off and try to force his way on to the court. Did you see his face yesterday? He’s miserable when he isn’t playing.

Rose please talk to Shaq
The only bit of advice I would ever want Shaq to tell Rose is that if you aren’t healthy in the playoffs, toughing out those regular season games become meaningless.
Shaq wouldn't word the advice right.
It would go something like:
I’m a lazy fatass.
I always came into camp out of shape.
Didn’t matter. I still dominate.
I got hurt, didn’t play.
Still made it for the playoffs.
I’m the big man. I’m the diesel.
I did the same thing next year.

Great news!
Hopefully now all it takes is a few days off or however long it takes for him to heal to the point where he is able to play at his best. This comes at a good time, as now we have the Kings, several home games and the all star break. Rip should be back relatively soon, and now we have to hope Deng isn’t done for the rest of the season. If Deng isn’t done, and he too, is able to come back to something like his best? We are gonna be in great shape. Now we just need Korver to make shots, CJ to handle the ball better and not wast possessions, Asik to make his inside presence felt whenever he has the chance and Boozer to play tougher D and move out of his mom’s house.
what's with the newfound concern for luol?
did something else happen with him?

Hopefull he's back for the ASG
Not saying that just because it’d be awesome to have him in, but also it’s just about the perfect tune up for him before getting back to real games. Nobody trying to hammer him or anything, just let him test it and see how he moves and how it feels in what’s essentially a glorified scrimmage.
thibs indicated after the all star break
until then, no rose and no rip.
i hate feburary injuries because of "after the all-star break"
i know we went them good and ready, but i still hate seeing that on an injury report
I have tickets to the Spurs game on the 29th.
It is going to be pretty badass if the Bulls field a complete, healthy roster. Well worth the 11 bucks (plus 8 in fees the crooks)!

who cares what a back specialist thinks about roses injury? i want to hear more from the guy who can craft world class defensive schemes.
"A household is a business given over to caring for small, temporarily insane people, a business subject to cash-flow problems, endless legal harassments, run by people who expect to have sex with each other, who occupy the same space, and who go nuts when either party has sex with anyone else. Once in marriage, a lot of people try to get out as fast as religious tradition, poverty, or devotion to children permits.""
Finally figured it out. I knew Thibs was crazy.
