Wouldn't it be a matter of time before it catches up to him where he gets off balance once, and lands awkwardly?

The moment he jumped, he was already off balance, and he does all this ball movement while in mid air to see who's opened, and loses his balance even more, and in the end, lands awkwardly and injures himself, at least that's how I see it.

It's definitely a disappointing injury for Rose, and hope he recovers soon.

Yes and no. You don't play your star garbage minutes. You close the series as soon as possible so that your boys don't have to play the extra minutes. Those are the basics to prevent freak injuries, any injuries really.
