Knicks' Derrick Rose out of health and safety protocols
There is a light at the end of the tunnel for Derrick Rose in his return to the New York Knicks. Rose has missed New York's last eight games while in the NBA's health and saftey protocols.
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau says Derrick Rose has to get some conditioning back before he can return to the lineup. Rose told Knicks reporters today -- highlights enclosed here from @MikeVorkunov -- that the coronavirus hit him much harder than a typical flu bug. https://t.co/kYIWx3GMtg
