According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, the Knicks have no idea what's going on with Derrick Rose.
Rose was listed as the starter 90 minutes before tip-off, but failed to show up to the game. Knicks officials tried to get in contact with him all the way up until tip-off, but it's still unclear if they've been able to reach him. According to Woj, team officials, teammates and Rose's close associates don't know what's going on. Rose was reportedly unhappy about being benched in the fourth quarter on Friday vs. the Bucks, but it's not clear if that's the issue here. Hopefully we'll learn more after the game, but this might be the weirdest story of the NBA season so far.

Didn't know there was a game and then decided not to contact the Knicks/respond to their attempts to contact him? Assuming Woj is right "not knowing there was a game" isn't an option
just got home. Rose just didnt show up? I cant recall that ever happening. Given that guys get suspended for being late to meetings/practice, what do you do here? Forced leave?
Melo, Rose and Noah now? Rose is an expiring deal but to just not show up for a game is some serious shit. I mean ... how do you let him suit up for you again?
Even the MSG postgame guys are baffled. There are ways they could handle this to spare him the scrutiny here - they're choosing to keep it a total mystery.

If there was some kind of emergency, the team may not have known. It sounds like legitimately nobody knows.

But if it is, who would want him?
Would have to sell very low.

Time to clean house
He's in a contract year. Could he be this dumb?
Who would want either?
I keep telling people. Dumpster fires burn out fast. This is gonna linger.
Who would want either?
Et tu, dep?
If he's lost dep, he's lost middle America.
Who would want either?
Rose is very tradeable due to last year of contract

now you have 2 untradeable players.

Come on now, you just cant blow off games. I couldnt even root for Eli if he left the Giants for a game to go hang out with Bieber.
Funny. But some team would take him that's playoff bound

just saying... ;)
Man, this has been a crappy start of the year for me. Press the button Phil... the ship is taking in a lot of water now.
I hear ya.
Multiple sources have also told me that there have been trade discussions involving Rose in recent days. #knicks
I'd guess it's something with his children, given that he was at the team shootaround. Good to see BBI is reasonable with these things though.

racist

Wow ...

Oh is that right? Then why didn't he say so? It's easy.
My kids, coach. We're having some issues. I need some time.
Instead. It's like, no one knows what's going on.
And you question people being reasonable.
this sounds like an emergency that happened last minute
also sounds like the players were legitimately worried about where he was
Dennis Rodman did it with the Spurs and I think the Pistons.
