More on this storyline

“The goal is to come back stronger, come back with more knowledge, more discipline, more determination, more willpower,’’ Rose said in the video, which appears to be filmed inside a moving vehicle. “Everything. Because motherf–ker’s think it’s sweet. ‘Ah man you’re having surgery again. You probably think about calling it a wrap.’ Ha ha, jokes on you.” -via New York Post / March 3, 2022

Marc Berman: I asked Thibodeau pregame if expects DRose back in March since it’s a skin-infection procedure: “Yeah, I wish I could answer that, but I can’t. Obviously, he needs some time right now. You just have to sort of let him go through it and be patient with it.” -via Twitter @NYPost_Berman / February 27, 2022

Adrian Wojnarowski: Knicks guard Derrick Rose’s minor procedure on his right ankle today addressed a skin infection in the area of his December surgery and there’s optimism that Rose can return to the lineup in one-to-two weeks, sources tell ESPN. -via Twitter @wojespn / February 25, 2022
