Rose will join Michael Jordan (23), Scottie Pippen (33), Jerry Sloan (4), and Bob Love (10) as the only jerseys ever retired by the Bulls franchise.

The price prior to the Rose announcement was reportedly $147. Following the news, ticket prices have reportedly risen by 126% to the current price of $332.

Rose won the Rookie of the Year award while playing for the Bulls in 2008 and was a three-time All-Star during his seven seasons with the team. He was also named to the All-NBA First-Team in 2011.

Rose had a productive tenure with the Bulls, averaging 19.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. Rose's career was derailed by injury, however, missing the entire 2012-13 NBA season after tearing his ACL in his left knee.

The remainder of his career would be impacted by injuries, as he continued to battle knee issues, ankle injuries, as well as a broken bone in his face. In the final seven seasons of his career, he wouldn't exceed 51 games played in a single season.

The jersey retirement game is currently scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026 and will be played inside the United Center, the home of the Bulls.
