Rose, the 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player who missed all of last season with a torn left knee ligament, injured his right knee Friday in the third quarter of Chicago’s 98-95 loss at Portland.
The 25-year-old guard had hoped he might be able to return at some point this season even after learning the severity of the injury on Saturday.
But Rose was ruled out for the rest of the campaign after surgery was performed by team doctors Brian Cole and Chuck Bush Joseph at Rush University Medical Center.
Rose had averaged 15.9 points, 4.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds over 10 games this season for the Bulls, who are 6-6 but were routed 121-82 on Sunday by the Los Angeles Clippers
