Derrick Rose's season is over early because of knee surgery again.
The New York Knicks guard has torn cartilage in his left knee and the team said he will miss the remaining five games.
Rose tore his left ACL in the 2012 playoffs and missed the entire next season. He made it through just 10 games in 2013-14 before he was sidelined by a torn meniscus in his right knee and missed 20 more games the following season because of trouble with the same knee.
Rose played in 66 games last season for Chicago, his most since his 2011 MVP season, and the Knicks took a chance on his health by acquiring him on the eve of the NBA draft in June. Rose, who didn't have to rehab last summer for a change, appeared to have regained much of his quickness this season while playing in 64 games and averaging 18 points.
But his contract expires after this season and teams will have to decide if Rose is worth another big deal given his injury history.
Season 2008-2009 - 88 out 89. He won the Rookie of the year award and his team is defeated by Celtics in first playoffs round in 7 games.
Season 2009-2010 - 83 out of 87. His has a minor wrist problem in March. They are defeated by Cavaliers in the playoffs.
Season 2010-2011 - 97 out of 98. He won the MVP award. They are defeated in East final against Miami.
Season 2011-2012 - 40 out of 72.. Starts with some minor injuries (foot, groin). He torn ACL of his left knee agains Sixers in the first playoffs round.
Season 2012-2013 - 0 out of 94.. He did not play, still recovering from his injury, in spite of the constant rumours of his return.
Season 2013-2014 - 10 out of 87.. After his return, he gets injuried again in November (meniscus broken).
Season 2014-2015 - 63 out of 94.. A couple of sprain ankle injuries and some other problems such as knee spasms. After the All Start he torn the meniscus and he is out for 20 games.
Season 2015-16 - 66 out of 82.. Some minor injuries. He is send to New York Knicks.
He was no guarantee to return to the Knicks anyway, given their preference to stick with the triangle offense in which Rose isn't completely comfortable. But he said he liked New York despite the team's disappointing season and was playing well down the stretch, scoring 24 points against San Antonio and 27 against Detroit in his last two games.
