Derrick Rose, the former MVP who played his college ball in Memphis, will be waived by the Grizzlies, according to a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Rose requested this despite having one season left on his contract, reports Ian Begley of SNY.tv, who adds Rose will announce his future plans later this week.
Injuries have slowed Rose in recent years, he hasn't played more than 27 games in any of the past three seasons. It was knee, hamstring, ankle and back issues that limited him to 24 games last season, when he averaged 8 points and 3.
