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 years ago after tearing the meniscus in his right knee. He also had a minor procedure on the right knee late last season.

After consultation with several specialists, it has been determined that he will require a surgical procedure, which will take place tomorrow at Rush.
