Bulls Broadcasters Fall for Fake Report About Derrick Rose’s Retirement
As a result of the retirement of Derrick Rose, the Bulls announcers have been the victims of a fake Woj bomb, which is a comedy of errors.
During a live broadcast, the Chicago Bulls announcer was subjected to a comical catfish. A post claiming that Derrick Rose had retired from the NBA fooled the announcer during the Saturday night game between the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls. In a message that was published on X, someone impersonating ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski stated that D-Rose had retired from the National Basketball Association after playing for 15 seasons.
Welp. The Bulls broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago fell for a fake Adrian Wojnarowski tweet that Derrick Rose has retired.

Even though the announcer was quick to bring it up during the live broadcast, he eventually came to terms with the fact that it was true. His coworkers made sure that he was subjected to the heat in a playful manner. The words “You got tricked” were spoken by one of the broadcasters. Perhaps it was all caps,” she said with a humorous tone.
Before the Bulls game, Adrian Wojnarowski’s spoof account published the article, which ignited chaos online and spread like wildfire. Following the injuries that he sustained, Derrick Rose, who is presently playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, has had a career that has been less than impressive. Over the course of his first seven seasons with the Bulls, he established a new record for becoming the youngest player in the history of the league to earn the Most Valuable Player title.
He suffered two unlucky injuries, even though everyone anticipated that his career would rise. Not only did he suffer a ruptured Achilles tendon, but he also suffered a damaged anterior cruciate ligament, which caused him to miss two entire seasons of playing basketball. Since his comeback, the great player’s game has changed significantly, and he has subsequently served as a player for a variety of clubs, including the Cavaliers, the Knicks, and the Pistons.
During the offseason of 2023, the Grizzlies recruited him to serve as the backup guard for Ja Morant and the rest of the team. On the other hand, this new affiliation did not work out well for him either, as the injuries affected the entire team. This season, the squad has suffered the loss of several great players, beginning with D-Rose.

Prospects for Derrick Rose’s career in the league
The famed actor, who is now 35 years old, is unquestionably in the latter phase of his career. It’s possible that the veteran big leaguer still has a few more seasons in him. Particularly noteworthy is the possibility that he has discovered the ideal franchise to cap off his career on a high note, possibly even with a championship ring. Apart from the games that were lost due to suspensions and injuries, Ja Morant and his teammates appeared to be quite dangerous whenever they competed with a healthy squad.
Marcus Smart’s addition to the roster of the Memphis Grizzlies, which already features power-packed players such as Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr., would transform the squad into one that is strong enough to win a title. Since Morant has already suffered an injury that will terminate his season, it is possible that the following season will be the one to keep an eye on.
However, the chances for this season are already out. On the other hand, Derrick Rose’s contract only allows for one more season to be played, which means that the Memphis Grizzlies have just one season left to assist the veteran player in obtaining his next championship.
