As we learned earlier today, Derrick Rose underwent an “uncomplicated” left knee arthroscopy to handle his meniscus tear. He’s expected to resume basketball activities in roughly three to six weeks. Here’s more on the 2010/11 MVP as well as notes on his current team:
- The Knicks have left the door open on Rose returning to the team, Marc Berman of the New York Post writes.“Derrick did a lot of good things for us this year, with the way he can break down the defense,” coach Jeff Hornacek. “We’ll take a look at it and see if we can bring him back.’’
- Mike Vorkunov of The New York Times isn’t optimistic about Rose’s future with the Knicks. The scribe believes the franchise should be able to replace Rose with a prospect through the draft.
- Patrick Ewing recently agreed to become Georgetown’s head coach, but that may be the first stop on his way to becoming the coach of the Knicks, Berman writes in a separate piece. A source tells Berman that Ewing’s relationship with Knicks owner James Dolan is “fully repaired.”
- Berman notes (same piece) that Ewing had a chance to interview with the school 13 years ago. The Hall of Famer previously said that he didn’t “want to go back to college.”
- Rose’s injury is likely to limit his options in free agency, George Willis of the New York Post argues. If Rose hadn’t suffered his latest ailment, Willis believes he would have had several multiyear offers from teams around the league. As it stands, the former MVP may have to settle for a one-year deal.
Dolan deserves Rose!
Dang D Rose Out Again, he Gets Hurt Way Tooooo Much
I have no problem with Rose coming back. They just have to do a better job of monitoring his minutes.
This Rose is off the bloom. Deep Six him and take Carmelo as well!
As a Bulls and Rose fan, whoever signs him has to accept that this is reality. He’ll be out a lot, and he’s probably going to get seriously injured, at some point in the year. It’s not his fault, but we Bulls fans went through over 4 long years of this. $10 million, on a year-to-year contract, is about all he’s worth.
You see it, the Derrick MISTER Rose have it too many issue with the body injury. Maybe he can to come back strong as before but I no sure?
