In the latest NBA headlines, Knicks point guard Derrick Rose's season is officially over early because of yet another knee surgery. Rose has a torn cartilage in his left knee and the team has officially ruled him out for the remaining five games of the season.

According to NBA.com, it was a surprising yet familiar ending to Derrick Rose's first season and possibly the only season in New York. He sat out three consecutive games, but the Knicks had initially reported the injury was just knee soreness and swelling, with Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek saying that he believed Derrick Rose could still come back before the season ends.

But instead, Derrick Rose will go into free agency coming off an arthroscopic surgery. "That is going to be a quick-healing injury. It could have been worse," teammate Courtney Lee said. "I truly feel for him and going to shoot out a lot of prayers for him on a speedy recovery."

As a recap to Derrick Rose's injury-prone career, he tore his left ACL during the 2012 playoffs and missed the entire next season. He then played just 10 games during the 2013-14 season before being sidelined again by a torn meniscus in his right knee, opting him to miss 20 more games the following season. According to NY Daily News, Rose played a total of 66 games last season for Chicago, which is his most since his 2011 MVP season.

The Knicks then took a gamble on Rose's health by acquiring him on the evening of the 2016 NBA draft. Derrick Rose, who didn't go through any rehab last summer, seems to have regained much of his usual quickness this season, all while playing in 64 games and averaging 18 points per night.

However, Derrick Rose's contract will expire after this season, and other teams will have to decide if Rose is worth yet another big deal, given his injury-riddled history. More updates on Rose's condition will be coming in the following days.
