Derrick Rose played through his hyperextended left elbow for two games, being unable to shoot for the better part of them until he decided that giving it a rest would be the best choice, as he was sorely missed in the Bulls’ 94-90 loss to the Detroit Pistons Saturday night.
Rose’s MRI revealed swelling in his bursa sac, and if that doesn’t sound uncomfortable enough, the point guard revealed there’s a shooting pain down his left arm whenever the elbow gets bumped. It affects his dribbling and playing, let alone his ability as a left-handed driver and shooting, as his left hand is his guide hand.
