Rose also sounded excited for the opportunity to play in Fred Hoiberg's offense.
Derrick Rose was back at practice today for the Chicago Bulls. Rose went through full-speed non-contact drills with a mask for the first time in his career. He said if he likes the mask, he may keep wearing it even after his fractured orbital bone has healed:
How long for mask? "I hate getting my face touched so if I’m feeling it and we’re playing good, you might see it for the rest of my career"

Rose did not offer a timetable for his return, but sounded optimistic about his prognosis.
