Derrick Rose, who had one ankle procedure in December and another one in February after a setback, is reportedly ready to play. The team expects him to be fully ready once training camp rolls around. With a potential Donovan Mitchell trade in the works, there is still a slim chance Rose is shipped out, but the Knicks will happily welcome back the veteran guard if he is to stay.
A favorite of coach Tom Thibodeau’s, Rose’s return should help the Knicks bench unit stabilize and become the force that it once was.
