The Chicago Bulls announced today that Derrick Rose’s No. 1 jersey will be officially retired, making him the fifth Bulls player to receive this franchise honor. The Rose jersey retirement ceremony will be held during the next NBA season (2025-26), and details will be announced at a later date.

Derrick Rose had a remarkable career that lasted 15 seasons. Throughout this duration, he played for several teams, yet his most significant period was with the Chicago Bulls, where he spent eight seasons.

The concrete rose, once a symbol of neglect, finally blossomed into a magnificent flower, adorned with an abundance of blooms that symbolized the recognition and admiration it had long deserved.

The two-minute tribute debuted during a halftime ceremony honoring Rose at Saturday’s Bulls game against the New York Knicks. It was the apex of an evening reserved for the Chicago native and 2011 NBA MVP who announced his retirement in September. The Bulls dubbed the matchup “Derrick Rose Night.” This Rose will forever be Chicago red.

The Chicago Bulls will honor Derrick Rose by retiring his jersey next season, although an official date has not been revealed.

Chicago Bulls announcer Stacey King just made a huge statement about Derrick Rose potentially rivaling Michael Jordan's NBA legacy.
