PORTLAND, Ore. -- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose was admittedly "happy" to leave the Moda Center with a victory after Tuesday night's 93-88 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Not only was Rose returning to the floor for the first time in over a week after spraining his left ankle, he was also playing for the first time in Portland since tearing the medial meniscus in his right knee, almost two years to the day in which the career-altering injury occurred.
"I'm just happy I got off the court," Rose said with a smile.
