It feels like we’ve heard this story over and over again, but Derrick Rose is saying that he will be back sooner rather than later.
According to Derrick Rose himself, the swelling and pain in his Knee is completely gone.
KC Johnson talking to Rose:
“Oh yeah, I’m not worried about that,” Rose said. “I’m feeling good. I’m trying to do all the right things. Put all the positives in the bag and just try to go with it. It’s something that I’ve been doing for a long time. Rehab is definitely a grind. But I’m getting used to it.”
Rose had a small piece of his right meniscus removed on Feb. 27. The Bulls estimated his return to action at four to six weeks. Friday marks four weeks since the surgery.
“Should be sometime this week or next week,” Rose said when asked about taking contact. “Gotta talk to (Director of Sports Performance) Jen (Swanson) and go from there.”
It sounds like Derrick Rose actually believes he’ll be okay after this injury. After removing part of his meniscus, maybe we will get Rose back for the Bulls before the Playoffs start.
