The Derrick Rose injury watch is nearing its conclusion.
Barring an unexpected setback, Rose said he will return Sunday against the Knicks from the groin injury that sidelined him for the 12th straight time Thursday night.
“I’m dying to play, but we’re being smart,” Rose said. “I guess a couple of more days rest will be good for me.”
Rose again participated fully in Thursday’s morning shootaround and worked out before Thursday’s game. He admitted to still feeling a little discomfort, saying he’s “not able to run at full speed.” When he does return, that will change.
“I’m not going to hold back at all,” Rose said. “My game is to be aggressive and try to get people going.”
