Derrick Rose injured his right ankle during the game against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, yet he was not in a walking boot afterwards.
The head coach of the Detroit Pistons, Dwane Casey, confirmed the news while talking to reporters after the game, while an official update on his condition is now expected.
“There was no update Monday on the severity of Derrick Rose’s ankle injury, but coach Dwane Casey said after Sunday’s loss that he wasn’t in a walking boot and that he was moving around the locker room, which was encouraging news.
It’s another blow to a season that had promise during training camp, but has spiraled into the abyss,” Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
Rose has been the best player on the Pistons this season, averaging 18.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 50 games.
