The NBA’s first round of fan voting results was released Thursday afternoon and Derrick Rose was the lone Knicks representative to make the top 10, ranking seventh among guards. But that wasn’t the best news of the day for Rose.
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said that Rose has been cleared to begin rehab work at the team’s training facility following his Dec. 22 surgery on his right ankle. While reports range from six to eight weeks for his absence getting back with the Knicks training staff is the first step.
