DERRICK ROSE
How an email from Tom Thibodeau pushed Derrick Rose to his lowest weight in 14 years Rose, 33, was showing off his slimmed-down physique, the reward for cutting out sugar and taking suggestions about his weight personally.
Feels 100 percent healthy Rose said at a press conference Monday that he is 100 percent healthy heading into training camp, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rose pushed for a late-season return last year after battling multiple lower-body injuries, but he ultimately stayed sidelined. The veteran point guard appeared in just 26 games last year and has missed at least 30 contests in each of the past five seasons. While Rose deemed himself 100 percent healthy, the veteran will still be monitored closely to start the season and likely subjected to periodic rest days throughout the campaign.

Impact Though Rose was believed to have taken a step forward in practice last week, Thibodeau admitted Monday that the 33-year-old's conditioning was still an issue. With Rose having yet to be cleared for contact and the Knicks having been eliminated from contention for the play-in game, the veteran guard seems unlikely to push for a return in the final week of the season. Assuming that's the case, Rose will finish with averages of 12.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 24.5 minutes per game over 26 appearances in the second season of his second stint with the Knicks.

Still not practicing Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Sunday that New York's medical team still hasn't cleared Rose (ankle) for practice, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Rose underwent a minor procedure at the end of February to address a skin infection on his surgically repaired right ankle and was initially expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks. However, two weeks have passed and the veteran point guard still hasn't been cleared for practice. Thibodeau said that once Rose is cleared, he'll need to re-start the conditioning process before being cleared for game action. In the meantime, Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley should continue to see increased run with Rose sidelined and Kemba Walker no longer in the mix.

Still not cleared for practice Rose (ankle) was at the Knicks' morning shootaround Friday, but he still hasn't been cleared for basketball activities, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rose underwent a minor procedure a week ago to address a skin infection on his surgically repaired right ankle and was initially expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks. However, he's only been cleared to do form shooting without jumping, so a potential return doesn't appear to be close. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said, "hopefully, in a week or so that'll be cleared up." In the meantime, Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley should continue to see increased run with Rose sidelined and Kemba Walker no longer in the mix.

Likely out at least another week Coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday that there may be an update on Rose (ankle) in 7-to-10 days, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Rose underwent a minor procedure Friday to address a skin infection on his right ankle, which was surgically repaired in late December. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that the veteran point guard could return in 1-to-2 weeks following the surgery, but based on Thibodeau's comments, Rose likely won't be available for at least another week and could possibly be sidelined even longer than the initial two-week window. In the meantime, Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley should continue to see increased run with Rose sidelined and Kemba Walker no longer in the mix.

Could return in 1-to-2 weeks Rose (ankle) could return in 1-to-2 weeks after he underwent a minor procedure Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Rose's surgery treated a skin infection in the area of the ankle procedure that he underwent in December, but he could be back in action following a relatively brief absence. His return timetable will depend on his participation in team activities in the coming days, but his initial timetable is certainly encouraging. Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley should see increased run while Rose is sidelined.

Requires another surgery Rose will undergo a second, minor surgery on his right ankle Friday and remains without a timeline for his return.
Impact Rose was considered doubtful for Friday's contest against the Heat and appeared close to his return to game action, but he'll instead remain sidelined for the foreseeable future. The 33-year-old originally underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his right ankle Dec. 22, and he apparently didn't recover as expected over the past two months. Kemba Walker (rest) was recently shut down for the rest of the season, leaving Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley likely to handle the bulk of the point guard duties for the Knicks.

Unlikely to play Friday Rose (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against Miami.
Impact Rose participated in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he appears unlikely to suit up during the Knicks' first game following the All-Star break. If he's ultimately sidelined, Immanuel Quickley and Ryan Arcidiacono should see increased run.

Practices again Thursday Rose (ankle) participated in practice Thursday, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Rose went through contact practice for a second straight day, but the Knicks will wait to see how he responds Friday before determining his status for the team's game against Miami. While coach Tom Thibodeau has indicated that Rose will initially come off the bench after returning to the court, he'll have a chance to carve out playing time in the backcourt since Kemba Walker (rest) has been shut down for the remainder of the season.

Practices Wednesday Rose (ankle) went through a full practice Wednesday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Impact The expectation remains that Rose will make his return to action Friday against Miami, but the Knicks will wait to see how the ankle reacts Thursday before officially updating his status. Wednesday marked Rose's first time taking contact since he sustained the injury all the way back on Dec. 16 in Houston. With Kemba Walker shut down for the rest of the season, Rose will vie for minutes with Alec Burks, Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes. Coach Tom Thibodeau implied Wednesday that Rose will initially come off the bench.

Impact Rose said in late January that he was targeting the start of the second half for making his return from a two-plus-month absence due to right ankle surgery, and it looks like he'll be able to meet that goal if he's able to avoid any setbacks in his recovery while he ramps up his workouts over the next week. While Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Wednesday that Rose hasn't been cleared for contact, sources tell Wojnarowski that the 33-year-old is expected to reach that milestone in his rehab program in the next few days. Rose will presumably be on a strict minutes cap once he makes his return to action, and his addition will only make it more difficult to mine fantasy value from the New York backcourt. He'll be part of a melange of guards that includes Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier, Immanuel Quickley, Alec Burks and Quentin Grimes, with at least one of those players likely to drop out of the rotation entirely.
