Derrick Rose Injury: NBA Players Wish Bulls Star Well On Twitter

Derrick Rose lays on the ground in pain during Game 1 of the Bulls-Sixers first round series.

The Chicago Bulls and their fans -- along with USA Basketball and just the NBA playoffs in general -- suffered a major blow on Saturday night when reigning MVP Derrick Rose tore his ACL late in Game 1 against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Bulls teammate Kyle Korver posted an emotional and passionate message to Bulls fans on his Facebook page and much like earlier in the season when Ricky Rubio went down with a season-ending injury, Rose's NBA brethren showed their support on Twitter.

Some also showed their support for New York's Iman Shumpert, who also went down with a torn ACL in Game against Miami.

Scroll down to see how some NBA stars reacted to Rose's injury.

A season with too many games in too short of time, and with no "get ready" time. The greed of the owners and the commissioner is showing in unprecedented injury's. Shame on them.

Too bad for the Bulls. But if it wasn't this game, it would be the next. Rose was a delicate flower in 12'. They can win without him up until the Heat. Then it's home for the summer to watch the White Sox.

It was so depressing watching him go down. He's one of the most humble, team-oriented players in the NBA, and to see him go down like that in game 1 after the season he's had...it didn't even feel like a win for us. But we can still do this, we proved that time and time again this season and DRose will be back better and stronger next year.

Rose was injured because of the poor shoes he was wearing and endorses.

Nike shoe designer uses Rose injury to sell shoes. No more Nike anything in our house. Hey Joe - looks like you chose poorly.

Just another Chicago so called superstar down the drain. Comes to crunch time just like Kane and Towes

"So called superstar"? What is that supposed to mean?

He's a young one so he'll recover quickly. This incident will forever be seared into his consciousness. He won't play with the same intensity, the same balls to the wall style. He'll be afraid of something happening. But, that should serve him well to teach himself to tone it down and pick and choose when he needs to dial it up a notch. After Jordan's early career broken foot (2nd year?) he never had another major injury. Granted a broken foot is not the same as an ACL tear. However, today's medical technologies and expertise, will help Rose's recovery and recovery time. He'll be back next year. Hopefully, without much lost.
