Fantasy Impact:
This is a huge blow to the Bulls' chances to contend this seasonand to Rose's health that had appeared to be getting better this off-season. Leg injuries have hampered the PG, but now this latest face injury will hold him back. The timetable is unknown. Per KlapperPlasticSurgery.com, "in general, fractures that involve greater than 50% of the orbital floor area or greater than 30% of the floor in conjunction with large fractures of the medial wall are likely to cause the eye to sink backward or downward and will usually require repair." More updates to come on the latest Rose injury.
