Things just keep getting stranger in Chicago.

After two knee surgeries and ankle injuries early to start the 2014-15 NBA season, many Bulls fans are questioning just how much Derrick Rose has left.

During a recent interview with ESPN, Rose had this to say about why he misses or sits out games:

“When asked how satisfied he is with his game, the former league MVP offered a glimpse into how much his mindset has changed since the injuries have started to pile up.

“I’m good, man,” Rose said. “I felt like I’ve been managing myself pretty good. I know a lot of people get mad when they see me sit out or whatever, but I think a lot of people don’t understand that … when I sit out it’s not because of this year.

“I’m thinking about long term. I’m thinking about after I’m done with basketball. Having graduations to go to, having meetings to go to, I don’t want to be in my meetings all sore or be at my son’s graduation all sore just because of something I did in the past. [I’m] just learning and being smart.”
