According to the Chicago Tribune's Full-Court Press blog, Bulls rookie Derrick Rose missed Monday's practice after he needed 10 stitches to close a gash suffered at home while — you're not going to believe this one — slicing an apple in bed. Amazing.

"It was a silly incident," Rose said. "I was cutting up some food and I laid on a knife getting lazy in bed. I went to go get a bottle of water, came back, forgot the knife was there, then sat down and sliced my arm."

Rose is expected to play Tuesday night against the Knicks at the United Center, which is good news, but it begs the question: why is Rose cutting Red Delicious apples with a machete? That seems excessive.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Slicing an apple in bed then laying on the knife makes you an idiot.

Discuss!

Yeah I believe the cutting an apple in bed story. Geez, he could have come up with something better than that.

Are you suggesting that Bogut isn't the only emo in the NBA?

Looks like Derrick Rose has been hanging with Pacman Jones and Plax

Him and Plaxico should hang out... Maybe attend some weapons safety training classes together.

At least he waited until another professional athlete shot themselves to do it. Nowadays it doesn't really seem like a big deal.

This is better than Michael Scott burning his foot on his George Foreman grill cooking bacon in bed
