The Chicago Bulls announced today that Derrick Rose’s No. 1 jersey will be officially retired, making him the fifth Bulls player to receive this franchise honor. The Rose jersey retirement ceremony will be held during the next NBA season (2025-26), and details will be announced at a later date.

Rose will become the fifth player in Bulls history to get their jersey number retired, joining Jerry Sloan (No. 4), Bob Love (No. 10), Michael Jordan (No. 23) and Scottie Pippen (No. 33). Earlier this week, Rose told ESPN that he "would love" to have his jersey retired by the Bulls. Just days later, he learned that wish is already coming true.

The two-minute tribute debuted during a halftime ceremony honoring Rose at Saturday’s Bulls game against the New York Knicks. It was the apex of an evening reserved for the Chicago native and 2011 NBA MVP who announced his retirement in September. The Bulls dubbed the matchup “Derrick Rose Night.” This Rose will forever be Chicago red.
