More surgery for former MVP

CHICAGO (AP) — Derrick Rose has suffered yet another setback as the former NBA most valuable player tries to revive his career.

The Chicago Bulls guard will have surgery on his right knee for the second straight season. The 2011 NBA MVP played in only 10 games last year before he had surgery for the same injury in November 2013, shelving him for the year. The Bulls said a timetable for his return will be determined after the operation.

It's unclear when Rose re-injured the knee.

He said his eyesight his fine, and he has no pain or fear about facing live pitching. However, he plans to try out a face guard to protect his left cheek.
