After a tough start to the game on Thursday night against the Clippers, Derrick Rose ditched the mask after halftime and scored nine points in the fourth quarter. Rose finished the game with only 11 points, but it was clear the mask was bothering him throughout the game until he took it off.
Derrick Rose was cleared to play without his mask three days ago. Forgot it when he left bench and decided to just leave it off. #Bulls

Rose said he hasn’t decided if he’s done with mask for good.

Rose was cleared to keep the mask off three days ago, but opted to wear it for the Clippers game for precautionary reasons. Despite playing without the mask in the second half, Rose is still unsure if he’ll keep the mask off for good.
