Seemingly impervious to criticism, Bulls guard Derrick Rose announced Thursday he was planning to stop using his left hand for dribbling the basketball. He cited a potential desire to start playing the clarinet at an unspecified time in the future.

“I mean, I don’t play the clarinet now,” Rose said in a press conference. “But, you know, I’ve got kids, and someday I may want to, you know, start a Dixieland jazz band or whatever.”

Rose slipped getting down from the press podium and is expected to be out for 4-6 weeks.

Derrick and the Sugar Shakers begin a Monday night residency at the Kingston Mines, coinciding with the start of the second round of the playoffs.
