Derrick Rose: ‘I’ll be proven innocent’ in rape case

Knicks point guard Derrick Rose, in his first public comments about his upcoming civil trial in a sexual assault case, said he’s not worried because he will be “proven innocent” and hasn’t done “anything wrong.”

Rose said there’s a possibility he will miss time during his first Knicks training camp, and said he has no idea whether the case will be settled before the trial starts on Oct. 4, the same day the Knicks open their preseason schedule in Houston.

“I’m not really worried about it,’’ Rose said Monday at the Knicks’ Media Day function at the Ritz-Carlton in White Plains.
