The Chicago Bulls took a tour of the White House Thursday night, but apparently, Derrick Rose didn’t join his teammates.
Several players, including Pau Gasol, Jimmy Butler and Aaron Brooks, took to social media to share photos of the team’s visit, but Rose was absent in all of the images.
Rose told reporters he instead chose to stay at his hotel.

“It was more of this is a business trip, and I took it that way,” Rose told the Sun-Times on Friday, when asked if he was upset with not being with his team on the tour. “Don’t get me wrong, any visit to the White House is great, but I took this trip as a business trip, and just resting, getting off my feet.”
Rose said during that time, he went through his treatment routine “just trying to treat my body.”
