The New York Knicks have been hit so hard by the COVID-19 virus in recent weeks that it would have been easy not to notice point guard Derrick Rose, who exited the Dec. 16 game against Houston with an ankle injury. Sadly, that bum ankle is going to cost Rose some serious time.
Derrick Rose underwent successful surgery on his right ankle today at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He will be re-evaluated in eight weeks.

Crap.
Watching the Houston game, it wasn’t clear exactly when Rose injured the ankle.
