NBA Star Derrick Rose Cancels Cameo on 'The Good Wife' At Last Minute

Derrick Rose reportedly pulled out of a cameo in The Good Wife at the last minute.

According to the New York Post, the basketball player had agreed to appear in the show but refused to come to the door when a car arrived to pick him up.

The show's producers had arranged plane tickets for Rose to travel from Chicago to New York but he allegedly gave them no explanation for his decision not to film any scenes.

"Derrick had agreed to play himself in an episode," a source claimed. "The deal had been done and the contract had been signed. But when the car arrived at his house in Chicago Tuesday morning, he didn't answer the door. The driver waited but he didn't appear. Finally, an unidentified man came out and said, 'Derrick is not going to New York'."

The insider continued: "This was very frustrating for the show's cast and crew because the production had been set, the script had been written, and actors including Josh Charles were on standby for him. By the end of the day there was still no explanation why he didn't show or if he wants to do the scene at a later date."

A spokesperson for Rose's team the Chicago Bulls said: "We didn't have training today, so I wouldn't know if he did the show or not. This is a matter for his agent."

Calls to Rose's spokesperson and agent were not returned, while a representative for The Good Wife declined to comment.
