It’s no secret that this knee injury for Derrick Rose is far less significant that the one prior. To that end, he seems to be progressing nicely and quickly.
He has already ditched the crutches apparently which is a huge milestone. It still remains to be scene if he’ll return to the Bulls (who look to be in a rebuild) this season, or if he’ll sit tight until next year.
Given the state of the Eastern Conference, the Bulls will make the playoffs but is it worth his return?
Derrick Rose has taken another important step in his rehabilitation from a second consecutive season-ending knee surgery. Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday morning that the 2010-11 NBA MVP is now walking without crutches and could start traveling with the team soon.
“He’s doing fine,” Thibodeau said. “He’s off the crutches. He’s doing more and more, but he still has a long way to go. He’ll probably start traveling in the next couple of weeks, but he’s doing great.”
