Derrick Rose’s offseason has seen him with his hands full with both on and off the court news.

The former MVP’s trade to the New York Knicks created serious buzz league-wide, but his other headline grabber, which is non-basketball related, also put him a more concerning situation.

This involves the case filed against Rose by a woman who accused him of an alleged gang rape that occurred in 2013. The latest developments now indicate that the Knicks point guard may face criminal charges down the line. Furthermore, Rose’s accuser wants the NBA to get involved by doing proper actions on the defendant.

Sports Illustrated contributor and sports lawyer Dan Werly gives his takes on the matter, after listening in on a conference call with Derrick Rose’s accuser.
