Bulls: Derrick Rose proclaims his innocence in strongest statements to date

Derrick Rose didn’t hide from the allegations of sexual assault that have been levied on him in a civil suit from a former acquaintance, and the Bulls franchise offered him full support as the 2015-16 season kicks off.

Rose was going to be center stage no matter the circumstance, but given the nature of what’s been alleged, it put more of a spotlight on the guard who’ll turn 27 in less than a week.

“I think you all saw everything that was put out,” said Rose, referring to the report put out by TMZ on Aug. 26 concerning the sexual assault suit.
