Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose suffered a left knee injury while trying to leap off his left foot in the lane with 1:10 left in Saturday’s playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers.  Read more after the jump.
Rose was helped off the court. He had 23 points, nine rebounds and nine assists when he was injured.
The Bulls won 103-91, and Game 2 is Tuesday, giving Rose a couple of extra days to rest.
“I hope he’s not seriously hurt,” 76ers coach Doug Collins said. “I admire him so much. I think he’s one of the young, bright lights in this NBA. And I hope he’s going to be back and he’s going to be able to play, because I admire greatness, and he’s a great player.”
The 23-year-old Rose played in just 39 of the Bulls’ 66 regular-season games because of an assortment of injuries, including turf toe, back spasms, pulled groin and foot injury. He hasn’t played more than two games in a row since suffering a foot injury March 12.
