Update on Derrick Rose's Health: Grizzlies Guard Sidelined Again
Having recently returned from injury, Memphis Grizzles guard Derrick Rose is already back on the injury report. The team announced on Wednesday that Rose is out with a left hamstring strain, and is considered week-to-week.


Derrick Rose's Disappointing Injury Setback
This is a very disappointing update for Rose and the team, because the veteran guard had just returned from an injury. Having played just 17 of the Grizzlies' 33 games this season, Rose has missed nearly half the year due to injuries. While the hope is that this latest injury is not too serious and will not sideline Rose for too long, a week-to-week listing meaning it will at least be a few games before a return is possible.

Impact of Injuries on Memphis Grizzlies' Season
The Grizzlies have been hit hard by injuries this season, which is one of the biggest reasons they currently sit where they do in the standings. While it was always going to be difficult to survive Ja Morant's 25-game suspension, the Grizzlies also went through that stretch of games without several other key contributors.


Grizzlies' Roster Adjustments and Rose's Anticipated Return
Having just got Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart back from injuries, the Grizzlies do have some reinforcements to their backcourt, which helps them handle this Rose injury a little easier. That said, the Grizzlies do want Rose back as soon as possible, and will be looking forward to his return to the court.
