“I think so, that’s the plan,” Rose said. “Whenever I feel right, that’s when I’m going to step back.”

Rose’s most recent set-back came in late February when he aggravated the right medial meniscus, which he had repaired last season.

“Oh, there’s no pacing,” he said. “Whenever I come back, I think I’m going to be ready to play the way I normally play. That’s the smartest thing about being patient with everything that I’m doing, paying attention to my body, paying attention to details every day.”

Since tearing his ACL in the 2011-2012 playoffs and hasn’t been the same player since. The former MVP hasn’t appeared in more than 46 games in a season since the injury.

The original timetable for Rose’s return was about six weeks, which would put him in line to return for the postseason.
