Bulls' Rose: Finding out ACL torn was like death
CHICAGO – Derrick Rose says finding out he had a torn ACL was like death.
The Bulls' superstar told CSNChicago.com he spent "the whole time praying" during the MRI that he wasn't seriously injured even though he heard a pop as he crashed to the court in the playoff opener against the Philadelphia 76ers.
"I remember everything," Rose said. "I remember jumping in the air and coming back down, and just that popping sound. I felt it actually tear when I laid all the way out and it just let go."
