Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose faces another indefinite spell on the sidelines as he needs to undergo surgery for a torn knee ligament in his right leg, the National Basketball Association team said on Saturday.

Tests in Los Angeles on Saturday confirmed the tear, which occurred in the game against the Portland Trail Blazers a day earlier. The former league most valuable player missed all of last season while recovering from a ligament tear in his left knee during the 2012 playoffs. "Rose is out indefinitely, and will not accompany the team on the rest of its current road trip," the Bulls (6-5) said.
