7:02pm: The procedure was performed on Friday and addressed a skin infection on his right ankle, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. There’s optimism that Rose will be able to return to action in one or two weeks, Woj adds.
1:39pm: Knicks guard Derrick Rose will undergo another procedure on his right ankle, the team announced today (via Twitter).
The Knicks’ announcement is scarce on details, simply referring to the procedure as a “minor” one and noting that no timeline has been set for Rose’s return. The ankle is the same one that the former MVP underwent surgery on in December.
Rose, 33, has appeared in 26 games (24.5 MPG) for New York this season, averaging 12.0 PPG, 4.0 APG, and 3.0 RPG on .445/.402/.968 shooting. He last played on December 16.
Recent reports had suggested Rose was nearing a return to action, but it now seems unlikely he’ll play anytime in the short-term future. As of this Sunday, there are just six weeks left in the regular season, so there’s no guarantee we’ll see him again before 2022/23, especially if the Knicks continue to fall out of play-in contention.
With Rose still on the shelf and Kemba Walker shut down for the season, Alec Burks will likely handle be the Knicks’ starter at point guard, with Miles McBride and Immanuel Quickley potentially in the mix as well.
I like D Rose as a player alot. But hard to see another career resurgence coming from him at this point.
Knicks man… Wth are you doing? Start Quickley, Reddish, Randle, Toppin, and Mitchell.
McBride, RJ, Cam, Toppin, Mitch/Sims*
This!
In other words, they lied about his condition and were too embarrassed to admit the team press releases that always announce “Joe Blow underwent successful surgery today on his ____” was a bad prediction that didn’t come true. They especially didn’t want to admit it right before or during All-Star weekend, they were already getting enough bad publicity.
Or a new scan revealed a minor complication that both parties chose to address now in an already lost season.
A bad news dump on a Friday following the biggest NBA media event of the season to date. Total coincidence.
What is Thibs gonna do now? He was banking on Rose turning the season around.
Also, Happy Bday Joakim!
A much better question would be, “Did they keep Thibodeau in the dark regarding Rose’s actual condition?” Because if that’s what they did, then it shows exactly what Thibodeau’s bosses think of Thibodeau to disrespect him like that.
In that one we all agree that Thibs just sucks at coaching, he is killing that team, not very good to start but he just makes them horribly bad!
Great for us. This assures a lottery pick. Personally, this is what they want. No point in getting 10th seed. Or get the 13-14 pick. Shut it down and just play the youth. Please start McBride. Please ……… and Obi. I would love a top 8 pick.
Because lottery picks in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 resulted in now being the odds-on favorite to win this season’s title.
Oh, wait.
Wow history . What picks were those and why. You need understanding. Try learning all the facts. And who made those and picks and why. Oh oh Let’s just blurt out gas ..
2015 – KP what did this turn into.
2017 – Nttilikina do you know why he was and who picked him. He’s 4 coaches ago. Brilliant.
2018 – This also brilliant, since we just got Cam.
2019 – RJ did some thing happen to this 20 yr old player. Like gain 45 LBs. Or hasn’t played most of his NBA career.
All these picks are all part of THIS rebuild. Catch up and join us. We still got picks coming. Geez I sure hope you’ll like them.
Lying again in true Berman style.
KP was shipped out for nothing. Also don’t forget the average Knicks fan booing him during his pick
ntikikina was a bad pick and who picked him and why is insignificant
2018 is a fing disaster and he didn’t get you reddish, 2018+1st got you reddish who’s just not good enough anyway like most of the players you hyped in the past (ie ranlde who you now want traded). Brilliant… Ffs
2019 is the only good pick until proven otherwise
You are the only Nonfactor here. I don’t lie period. And why would I need to lie over sports or the Knicks. It’s all documented. So I consider this a personal attack. So again little demian. I’ll have to spank you and teach you the art understanding facts.
KP was shipped out for nothing ????
Now this is worse than a lie. This shows not only your Incompetence. But your continuing afront to show me up. Have I done something to your sister lol.
Really Redish hasn’t even played or showed up yet. So that’s another excellent comment. Like I said we got plenty of picks. By the way all courtesy of KP you simpleton. Stop showing your ignorance lol.
The day you will make a point. Will the first.
So tell us all what KP trade did for us. Or I will make it my mission to show the nincompoop you are ……….
Did you Enjoy RJs 46 lol. Or more info you refuse to process …….
And this for Hawthorne Wingo . the poster I was talking when the child demian just couldn’t help himself.
So WINGO ……….. you must be a demian understudy. He’s you mentor lol
Something I’ve said since we drafted him.
“ The Heat’s Jimmy Butler said Barrett will be “the face of the Knicks.’’ It’s noteworthy because Barrett is looking like a young Butler.
RJ 46 pts just cause he knows I KNOW
Its like talking to a damn child with you.
You traded a unicorn big and a bunch of bad contracts for 2 late first picks, damn Dennis Smith and promises of 1-2 free agent star signings like KD.
You only traded him because he asked for a trade and while you were initially looking to get Donovan Mitchell, AD or DeAron Fox btw.
Look what people thought back then when there’s was still the pipe dream of getting KD and Kyrie and the illusion of drafting correctly

You’ve gotta be kidding.
Let’s see a top 10 pick or better. Plus plenty of assets to trade up ??????
Sounds good to me. I’d feel better if I was making the pick, of course.
AJ Griifin, Banchero has been dropping, There is plenty talent in that top 10 this yr. Even a Center in Duren or Agbaji a solid 2way SG. Who both will be there when we pick. Duren means we can trade Mitch. Agbaji means we can move Burkes/Griffin.
That’s what the draft can do. It’s what I can do.
You keep talking about draft night trades and we couldn’t even give Burkes away for a bag of chips so what makes you think Leon Do Nothing Rose and World Wide Mess are going pull off a draft night blockbuster trade to move up. And you talking about trading Mitch when he is a unrestricted free agent this summer Al . Only way we can trade him if he agrees to a sign and trade so if he walks this summer that will be another Leon Blunder like him not signing DeMar DeRozan who is carrying a Injury riddled Chicago team and will probably make the All NBA first team or second while our two off seasons big fish both are stinking up the joint with Fouriner wildy inconsistent and Kemba shut down because of continued knee woes. I’m sick of you saying we will do this and we will that when Leon Rose Thibs and Wes the Three Stooges ain’t doing nothing but setting this franchise back to abysmal embarrassment. And the guy I want us to get our hands on is Jonnie Davis from Wisconsin who is a mid range assassin like the guy we passed on DeMar DeRozan and his game reminds me of Jamal Murray from Denver. This kid is a walking bucket. I pray that Grimes has a speedy recovery but Thibs is so stubborn if IQ or Burkes gets hurt he probably will have Taj Gibson running the point. Lol. Please James Dolan get rid of this overated coach who gets out coached on a nightly basis. Won’t be happy until this enept delusional coaches head is on a platter at a James Dolan banquet.
I tip my hat to you, Al is delusional most of the time overrating players like Fournier and pretending like everything happened for a reason other than the FOs incompetence.
Exactly bro and always trying to belittle someone’s opinions and comments. He is as delusional as this enept coach of our beloved NY Knicks. But salute to you champ and God Bless.
You had a point …….
A year of this FO works for you. Again it’s entertaining for you. For the world we just enjoy a good laugh on you. Man you must think this is Bitcoin.
Do t worry child. I will get you up to speed I promise .
You want in too. This is a ball sports forum. We can talk about anything ball related. You must be under the impression we work for the team.
I know I can run it. We won’t get into that. But I’m sure they check up on me here and there.
What else is there to talk about. It’s all about the young players and the draft at this point. So go ahead and hang yourself. Cause they will never get it right ok.
I doubt you know the top 10 players or the players we need. SG is a position we don’t have need. And with Mitch you answered your own question. It’s been discussed if you believe the rumors.
And now you want to hate on Burkes. What are you the FA secret service agent. That you got answers. Plenty of teams wanted Burkes. Obviously nothing we wanted to do. Just means draft night or next season. Just like Kemba and expiring contract can help us deal. Right
Right now we are in top 10. Why wouldn’t be able to trade up. There is always a player or two. Who falls a few picks. Like Kuminga did this yr. By the way another player I wanted to trade up for. Cause it looked like was falling.
Now with Grimes out. Only makes it easier to play the young guys. Again a better pick. Just get ready for next yr.
I would just suggest before the Knicks make whatever pick they get they figure out who their president,GM and coach are going to be. Then come up with a vision of exactly what kind of team they want to be BEFORE they make that pick. Just a thought from a Bulls fan who suffered fools like Gar-Pax for years before a guy with a plan showed up.
