Knicks lose Derrick Rose for at least 8 weeks after ankle surgery

The New York Knicks had already lost several players due to COVID-19 health protocols over the past two weeks, but veteran point guard DerrickRose was dealing with something very different.

Rose has missed the past few games with a sore right ankle, which previously wasn’t thought to be anything significant. However, after trying to fight through the pain over the past few weeks, Rose underwent surgery on his right ankle Wednesday afternoon at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
