LOL, all Rose will have to do is post up or shoot over the top of DJ.
But on the other hand, all DJ will have to do is bring a syringe with him...
No way. No how.
You see, Rose has a fear of needles. No, make that a debilitating phobia of them.
He was told he needed as many as four stitches to close up a gash above his right eye after a collision during Memphis' 92-74 win over Michigan State on Friday in the South Regional semifinal.
That news ruined any celebration he had in mind after scoring a game-high 27 points despite missing almost eight minutes in the second half dealing with the injury.
Derrick Rose missed almost eight minutes after sustaining a cut above his eye.
Rose came stalking out of the locker room, yelling, ranting and on the verge of tears. He only calmed down when team officials agreed to glue the cut and forget the stitches.
"I'm terrified of needles," he said. "If I would have got stitches, they would have had to stick a needle right above my eye. So I was pouting, stormed out of the locker room. I was mad."
