“We got to make sure – he hasn’t really done anything and that will be a good two or three weeks where he has total inactivity, so just to throw him back out there going 100 percent with your speed and everything, you just don’t want to take any risks, any chances, where it could be a lingering issue”.

Rose (eye) was cleared for non-contact training Wednesday, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Rose’s body has failed him ever since.
He returned for the 2013-14 season, but tore his right meniscus early in the season against the Portland Trail Blazers and missed the rest of that campaign as well. The Bulls fought gamely on without Rose, but simply didn’t have the horses to make a true push for a title without their floor general. The Derrick Rose injury factor, and the existence of LeBron James, a player who has been to five consecutive National Basketball Association Finals, and hasn’t lost a series in the Eastern conference since 2010. But Rose’s comments away from the court, as well as August allegations he was involved in drugging and gang-raping his ex-girlfriend, have led to added scrutiny. “82 games and hopefully playoffs”, Hoiberg said to ESPN. One of them, and maybe the most significant one, will be the amount of 3-pointers this team shoots.
“Most likely (out for the preseason)”, Hoiberg said.
“Just trying to get back in shape”, Gibson said. Jimmy Butler, it’s your time to shine.
“Making sure that my family is financially stable – as far as, you see all the money that they’re passing out in this league, [I’m] just telling the truth, just knowing that my day will be coming up soon”. Head coach Fred Hoiberg is being quite patient and doesn’t want to rush the PG back.

Now, according to UpRoxx, Derrick Rose has also made a claim about the media’s consistency of attempting to pin the two guards against each other. The previous absence came in November 2012 after the most serious of Rose’s knee injuries, the anterior cruciate ligament tear he suffered to start the 2012 playoffs. Rose was also in attendance, albeit in the team’s locker room, during Chicago’s 123-115 loss to the Pelicans.
