Knicks' Derrick Rose: Being investigated by LAPD

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Monday that there's an open criminal investigation against Rose.

Analysis:

Rose is already facing a $21.5 million civil suit stemming from rape allegations levied against him, but the press release from the LAPD suggests that the 27-year-old could now face criminal charges if found guilty. The Knicks point guard has maintained his innocence since the allegations came to light and won't be subjected to any discipline from the Knicks or the league until the legal process plays out.
