Rose announced Thursday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional basketball.

EDGE Analysis

Selected by the Bulls with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Rose immediately established himself as one of the game's top point guards upon entering the league. After claiming Rookie of the Year honors, Rose was named NBA MVP during his third season in 2010-11, becoming the youngest player in league history to win the award at 22 years old. Unfortunately for Rose, that 2010-11 campaign would prove to be his peak, with a torn ACL suffered during the 2012 playoffs and a meniscus injury suffered in November 2013 costing him nearly two full seasons and significantly altering the trajectory of his career. Rose never made another All-Star team after suffering the two major knee injuries, but the 35-year-old still turned in a productive 16-year career and was often a solid secondary scoring option across his stops with the Bulls, Knicks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Pistons and Grizzlies. Rose had been under contract with the Grizzlies heading into the 2024-25 season, but he requested his release earlier this week so that he could officially head into retirement.

Rose (groin/back) was waived by the Grizzlies on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rose missed the end of the 2023-24 campaign due to back and groin injuries, and it's not yet clear whether those issues will impact his availability for the start of the regular season this year. However, he'll need to seek out other opportunities with approximately a month remaining before Opening Night.

Rose (groin/back) will likely miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rose was given a three-week return timetable after being diagnosed with low back and groin soreness in early March. However, it doesn't make sense to rush the veteran back with the Grizzlies out of playoff contention. Rose struggled to stay healthy all season and made just 24 appearances (seven starts), averaging 8.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 16.6 minutes. Rose is under contract with the Grizzlies for one more season.

Rose will be re-evaluated in three weeks after being diagnosed with right osteitis pubis stemming from an injury suffered on Feb. 28 against Minnesota, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rose is dealing with the lingering soreness in his lower back and groin, which appears set to sideline him for Memphis' next nine games, at least. The veteran guard carries shutdown risk as well, especially if the Grizzlies prioritize maximizing minutes for recent two-way signee Jordan Goodwin.

Rose (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Rose will miss a third straight game due to back soreness. The veteran's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Rose (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Rose will miss both halves of the back-to-back set against Portland after leaving Wednesday's loss to Minnesota early. The veteran's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Brooklyn.

Rose (back) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Rose left Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Timberwolves with back soreness and didn't return, and given his injury history, it's not surprising that he won't be available for this one. The Grizzlies are playing a back-to-back set against Portland on Friday and Saturday, and it remains to be seen if Rose will be available for the second half of that set.

Rose left Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Timberwolves with back soreness and didn't return. He logged two points (1-2 FG) and an assist across six minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's tilt was Rose's third straight appearance, a feat he hadn't accomplished since the middle of December. However, he was unable to finish the contest and will have a day to rest before the Grizzlies embark upon a home back-to-back Friday and Saturday against Portland.

Rose is questionable to return to Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to back soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Rose has dealt with injuries all season and is now questionable to return Wednesday after logging just six minutes. With Luke Kennard (illness) out, Jordan Goodwin will likely be relied upon to play heavy minutes.

Rose (ankle) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Rose tweaked his ankle and missed the Grizzlies' final game heading into the All-Star break, but it looks like he'll be available for Friday's game. However, it's unlikely he'll receive enough minutes to make a difference in most fantasy leagues.
