Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose are arguably two of the biggest stars in the NBA. The former is one of the greatest players of all-time and a five time champion, while the latter is youngest MVP in league history. Both are coming off of multiple serious injuries, and will be closely watched as the 2014-15 season begins.
Bryant suffered a torn achilles in the Spring of 2013, days before the playoffs were set to begin. He spent the entire offseason rushing a recovery only to injure his right knee after only playing six games in the 2013-14 season.
Rose tore his ACL in the 2012 NBA playoffs, and then missed the entire 2012-13 NBA season. He returned for the 2013-14 season, but tore his meniscus only a few weeks into the season, and would not play again for the rest of the year.
Both players have stated that they are fully healthy and have experienced no setbacks. Bryant has averaged 19 points per game throughout the preseason, while Rose has averaged 17.5 points per game.
In order for their respective teams to compete for playoff spots this season, the two all-stars must be fully healthy and play at a high level. Only time will tell if this will happen. Stay tuned for more updates.
