Derrick Rose said strength in his right knee and conditioning are the last things he needs to develop before returning to action but wouldn't commit to a return date.
Rose scrimmaged Monday and Tuesday in his first contact since having a small piece of his right meniscus removed Feb. 27. The Bulls estimated Rose would return in four to six weeks. Friday is five weeks since the procedure.
Rose said he was pleased with how he felt in both scrimmages and that he was able to get to where he wanted to on the court.
"I know it’s a process. But I’m along for this ride," he said. "I was able to get to the spots. It’s just making shots and getting the wind to actually run up and down. That’s the hardest thing. But as far as playing a game or come back full strength and all that, that’s going to come. My rhythm of the game will come. It just takes being out there and actually playing."
