Derrick Rose sparked much discussion during the NBA offseason after he was picked up by the New York Knicks. However, on Monday, Sept. 26, the discussion at the first New York Knicks Media Day was not about basketball; rather, reporters questioned Rose about sexual abuse allegations, an upcoming civil lawsuit, and the Los Angeles Police Department’s investigation into the matter. Rose and two friends are accused of raping “Jane Doe” in August 2013 in a $21 million civil lawsuit that is set to begin trial on Tuesday, Oct.
