According to a report by TMZ, Derrick Rose is being sued by a woman who claims the Chicago Bulls’ star point guard and two of his friends drugged and gang-raped her.

The alleged victim said she and Rose dated from 2011 to 2013. She said that in August 2013, Rose and two friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton, invited her to the NBA star’s Beverly Hills, Calif., house, where they slipped a drug into her drink with the aim of raping her, according to the TMZ report.

The report went on to say the alleged victim escaped the house with a friend, but later that night, Rose and his friends broke into her apartment and gang-raped her.

The Bulls had no statement on the report as of late Wednesday night, according to WGN in Chicago.

Rose missed a large portion of last season due to a right knee injury. He averaged 17.7 points, 4.9 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 51 games.

The previous two season, he played a combined 49 games due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in April 2012 and a torn medial meniscus in his right knee in November 2013.
