Derrick Rose Begins Rehab on Knee One Day After Surgery
Published at
NBA via Chicago Bulls(CHICAGO) — Just one day after undergoing surgery to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee, Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has already began his rehab for the injury.
Rose suffered yet another setback on the court that has derailed his career, but he’s determined to remain a key player.
“He’s been through two tough ones,” Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I think he’s gained confidence from that. The ACL knee is great and he knew [a re-tear] was a possibility going in. He’s in a good place and he’ll deal with it. He’ll get past this.”
A former league MVP, Rose is expected to miss 4-6 weeks and both he and the team are optimistic he’ll be able to return for the playoffs.
The 26-year-old Rose has appeared in 46 games this season, his most since the 2010-2011 season. Prior to the injury, he was averaging 18.4 points, 5.0 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game.
