Chicago guard Derrick Rose will have surgery on his left eye after being elbowed in the face on the first day of the Bulls’ training camp.
The Bulls say the 2011 NBA MVP sustained a left orbital fracture and is scheduled for surgery Wednesday, and a timetable for his return will be determined after the operation.
The injury is the latest in a long line for Rose and the last thing the Bulls needed with a new head coach in Fred Hoiberg.
Rose missed all of the 2012-13 season after tearing his left ACL during the first round of the 2012 playoffs, and played only 10 games two seasons ago after tearing the meniscus in his right knee.
