More on this storyline
Rose told reporters on Jan. 30 that he hoped to return “a little after (the) All-Star” break, and that timetable remains firmly on course, sources said. -via ESPN / February 17, 2022 Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday before his team played the Brooklyn Nets that Rose wasn’t yet cleared for contact, but that’s expected to happen soon, sources said. Rose is a favorite of Thibodeau and there’s an urgency to get him back into the lineup to try and jumpstart the Knicks’ postseason hopes. New York (25-34) is in 12th place in the East, 3.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the 10th and the final play-in spot in the conference. -via ESPN / February 17, 2022 Nick Friedell: Thibs says he’s hopeful that Derrick will be back after the All Star break. He hasn’t been cleared for contact yet but he’s doing everything else in practice. A lot of years of my life flashed before me after listening to that answer. -via Twitter @NickFriedell / February 16, 2022
