This update brings disappointment for Derrick Rose and the team, as the veteran guard had recently made a comeback from an injury. With only 17 appearances in the Grizzlies’ 33 games this season, Rose has been absent for almost half of the year due to injuries. While the hope is that this recent setback is not too severe and won’t keep Rose out for an extended period, the week-to-week designation implies that his return is still a few games away.
Injuries have significantly impacted the Grizzlies this season, contributing to their current position in the standings. Despite the challenges posed by Ja Morant’s 25-game suspension, the team had to navigate that stretch without several key contributors.
Although the return of Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart provides some reinforcement to the backcourt, the Grizzlies are eager for Rose’s swift return. His presence on the court is anticipated, and the team looks forward to his contribution in upcoming games.
