Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Thursday that Derrick Rose (knee) will be ready to go next season.
Rose didn't play all season after suffering a torn left ACL and MCL in Game 1 of last year's playoffs. The saga of whether he would return to the lineup reached nauseating levels in the second half of the year and he'll likely be dogged by questions about it all summer long. The good news is that he should be 100 percent when training camp opens next fall, which should mean a very long and productive season once Rose shakes off the rust. May 16 - 3:32 PM

Derrick Rose (knee) will not play on Wednesday in Game 5 vs. Miami.

If the Bulls lose, their season will end without Rose ever playing a game this year. We fully expect Rose to be ready for the start of next season, but questions will linger throughout the offseason as to why he didn't get back on the floor this year.

Derrick Rose (knee) will not play in the Bulls' second-round series vs. the Heat, according to CSN Chicago.

"At the outset of the second round Rose did strongly consider coming back, but ultimately decided against it," according to CSN's Aggrey Sam. This comes as no surprise. A rumor that Rose might suit up for Game 3 was quickly proven false, and it's worth remembering Adrian Wojnarowski's report from last week, which claimed that Rose has privately decided not to return during the playoffs.

Derrick Rose (knee surgery) will not play in Friday's Game 3 vs. Miami.

A Hoopsworld report earlier in the week jumped the gun by saying Rose might suit up for Game 3, but he's already been ruled out once again. At this point, we'd expect to see Rose at the beginning of next season. Nate Robinson will start at point guard.

Tom Thibodeau again says nothing has changed for Derrick Rose (knee), which means Rose is unlikely to play in Game 3.

There was a Hoopsworld report Tuesday that suggested Rose could return for Game 3, but it doesn't sound likely at this point. Barring a drastic change of mind from Rose himself, the former MVP is unlikely to play again this season.

Tom Thibodeau said "nothing has changed" in regards to Derrick Rose's (knee) playing status, and he will not play in Game 2.

A Hoopsworld report on Tuesday suggested that Rose might suit up for Game 3 (but not necessarily play), but Thibodeau's quote indicates that it's the first he's heard of that plan. Rose will continue to sit on the sidelines until if he feels he's ready to play, and there's a strong chance we don't see him until next season.

Derrick Rose - G - Bulls

Hoopsworld is reporting that sources in Chicago are suggesting that Derrick Rose "may suit up for Game 3 in Chicago," which doesn't mean he would play, even if he does dress.

However, if Rose is in uniform it's possible he could get into the game on Friday, even if it's on an emergency basis. We're still of the belief that Rose is a long shot to play anytime soon, but this is just another teasing reminder that it remains a possibility. Stay tuned.

Derrick Rose (knee) will not play on Monday.

Rose continues to say his status is "up in the air," but he will not play in Game 1 on Monday. Nate Robinson will start if Kirk Hinrich (calf) can't play. Beat writer K.C. Johnson adds that the organization has worked under the assumption that Rose will not play again this season.

Derrick Rose - G - Bulls

Derrick Rose said his status for the rest of the playoffs is "up in the air," but Adrian Wojnarowski contends that Rose has decided not to play this season.

Wojo cites "sources with the direct knowledge" who claim Rose has made a choice to rest his surgically-repaired left knee for the duration of the playoffs. The Bulls are used to playing without their resident MVP and they're simply hoping to have Kirk Hinrich (calf) and Luol Deng (illness) in uniform for Game 1 on Monday.

Derrick Rose will not play in Saturday's Game 7 against the Nets.

This isn't really big news and Rose has already said that he'll make his debut on his own terms. Rose tore his ACL on the same day as Iman Shumpert last season and Shumpert made his return way back on January 17. Rose says he could play in the next round against Miami, but the Bulls will have a tough time winning tonight with Luol Deng out and Kirk Hinrich dealing with an injury.

Derrick Rose - G - Bulls

Derrick Rose (knee surgery) says he's in control of his rehab and nobody, including his brother, can tell him when or if to return to the court.

Rose had an impromptu media session after shootaround Saturday morning, addressing a lot of recent reports regarding his status, including his brother saying there's a "90 percent chance" Rose would return if the Bulls advanced. "My brother and them can’t tell me what to do with my body. I’m in control of the whole process. It’s really all on me," said Rose, who also won't rule himself out for the rest of the season.

Derrick Rose (knee) says "muscle memory" is one of the things holding him back from returning to action.

TNT sideline reporter Rachel Nichols was able to secure a few minutes with Rose. "He's telling me how badly he does want to be out there, but he says that he just doesn't have the muscle memory back, is the way he put it," Nichols said. In other words, Rose's knee doesn't feel right, it's affecting his shot and he doesn't want to be on the court when he's unsure of himself. Meanwhile, the rest of his Bulls teammates are slogging through a brutal series against the Nets, most of them playing on one leg or sick. "I think Derrick owes it to his teammates at this stage," TNT's Steve Kerr said Monday.

There is "no indication" that Derrick Rose (knee) will play in Game 7 vs. the Nets.

It's the storyline that just won't go away. Rose is looking increasingly likely to sit out the season regardless of how long the Bulls' year lasts, and it's getting repetitive to pass along the same info time and time again. When Rose is ready to play, he'll let everyone know.

Derrick Rose (knee surgery) will not play on Thursday.

Many are still holding out hope that Rose will return, but it won't be on Thursday. The Bulls will rely on Nate Robinson at point guard with Kirk Hinrich (calf) already ruled out.

Kirk Hinrich and Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau strongly disagreed with comments from TNT analyst Steve Kerr that Rose "maybe owes it to his teammates" to return from knee surgery.

"We don’t feel that way," said Hinrich, who can barely walk due to a calf injury. "It’s been a very difficult year for Derrick. I’ve never experienced any sort of injury like that. I’m not one to speak on how anybody else’s body feels. We know what kind of guy he is and what kind of teammate he is and we don’t feel that way." Kerr did defend the Bulls' and Rose's handling of the injury and said he should only return "if Derrick is OK and there's no threat to further injury." Rose has been medically cleared by the team's doctors but remains out for at least the first round of the playoffs. At this point, I think we all just want this saga to end -- one way or the other.
