According to the Chicago Tribune's Full-Court Press blog, Bulls rookie Derrick Rose missed Monday's practice after he needed 10 stitches to close a gash suffered at home while — you're not going to believe this one — slicing an apple in bed. Amazing.

"It was a silly incident," Rose said. "I was cutting up some food and I laid on a knife getting lazy in bed. I went to go get a bottle of water, came back, forgot the knife was there, then sat down and sliced my arm."

Rose is expected to play Tuesday night against the Knicks at the United Center, which is good news, but it begs the question: why is Rose cutting Red Delicious apples with a machete? That seems excessive.

wouldn't a knife on any surface be lying down? how does one cut a body part on a knife that is lying down? if you just hit your arm against a knife, it probably wouldn't get cut unless it's like on of Kill Bill's swords or something

That's funny, I thought he would go at all costs to avoid all sorts of needles. This is an odd story..

I wonder what he was going through when he was getting those stitches. LOL
