Derrick Rose, who broke his face, is questionable for the Bulls’ regular-season opener.

Just how is he feeling?

K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune:

Rose trying to play with one eye closed seems like a bad idea. The Bulls should – and probably will – be patient with him.

If Rose isn’t ready by opening night, it sounds like he will be shortly after.

I’d also be shocked if Rose wears a mask the rest of his career, though he did play with Richard Hamilton. So, maybe Rose knows something about the advantages to always donning a mask.
