In a career filled with high expectations, disappointments and countless injuries for one of Chicago’s native sons, Derrick Rose is contemplating if continuing a career in basketball is still worth it. Rose has come too far to drop everything and quit now.

It was reported Rose is taking a break from basketball to evaluate his future in the NBA, and his numerous injuries are taking a mental toll on him, according to a Friday Bleacher Report.

Rose has a long list of injuries, including major injuries of two ACL tears and a meniscus tear, but his latest one is an ankle sprain, which is currently sidelining him for a couple weeks from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
