Derrick Rose was at Knicks shootaround this morning in Phoenix, but he isn’t doing any basketball activities. Can do form shooting without jumping and that’s it, Thibodeau said. “Hopefully, in a week or so that’ll be cleared up,” Thibodeau said. – 2:09 PM

Obi Toppin should be applying medicine to Derrick Rose’s ankle. He has been sprinting the floor tonight with Harden or Shake Milton chasing him and Quickley and Cam have not tried once to find him. – 8:29 PM

“He can’t really do much,” Thibodeau explained. “Just got to be patient, let it clear up. That’s it . . . He’s not supposed to be doing a lot right now other than follow [medical advice]. He’s been pretty diligent with that. He can walk around. He can form shoot if he’s not leaving his feet. He can’t do a whole lot right now. Hopefully in a week or so that’ll be cleared up.” -via Newsday / March 5, 2022

“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
