CHICAGO — John Calipari has exchanged texts with his former player Derrick Rose, and said he’s doing well and working out on the West Coast.
Rose’s first — and maybe only season — with the Knicks ended after he underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn left meniscus. Rose will be a free agent on July 1.
“We were texting,” Calipari, the Kentucky coach, said at the NBA Draft Combine on Thursday. “I told him I’m in his city, I’m broke, and I want him to buy me dinner. He said I’m out west. He’s good. He’s getting after it.
