Is Derrick Rose ready for the 2015 season?

Is Derrick Rose ready for 2015 or is his career over?

by Mazi Campbell

Derrick Rose,  the point guard for the Chicago Bulls, got injured in 2011 and got injured again in 2012. Last season, Rose didn’t play for the whole season because he tore his right knee. The Bulls made the playoffs last season, but they still really needed him. Derrick Rose looked ready early in the season because he showed a lot of effort on the court and he looked like he’d recovered. He got injured again, but he started working out with his trainer and in the past few weeks he looks much better. Last Monday night, he had a great game against the Detroit Pistons, with 24 points and 7 assists. Still, I think Derrick Rose is not ready for the entire season because he keeps getting hurt. I think his career might be over, but we’ll find out soon!

Julius Randle gets injured vs Houston Rockets

Julius Randle, a power forward who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, was injured in the first game of the regular season. In the second half, he went in for a layup and landed wrong on his right leg. He broke his right leg, and now he his getting surgery and is likely out for the season. I believe Randle was the second best player on the Lakers, and he could have helped the Lakers win this season. Now I think the Lakers are not going to have a good season this year because they lost a key player that can get rebounds, go to the basket and score.
