The procedure today on Derrick Rose’s ankle was done after Rose felt discomfort following Thursday’s practice, Tom Thibodeau said. Thibodeau said it was done to clean up something in the area of Rose’s ankle that was originally operated on in December. No timetable available yet. – 6:15 PM

With Derrick Rose out, Deuce McBride has a major opportunity to showcase himself as the legit NBA combo guy he is… Just needs a shot from Thibs, because the tools are all there. #Knicks – 4:08 PM

Derrick Rose remains out indefinitely after the Knicks announce that the former MVP will undergo what the club termed a “minor procedure” on his right ankle today.

Derrick Rose underwent a procedure to clean up a lingering ankle injury in late December. The procedure was done w/intent to alleviate future issues. He was on track to return within the next few days. Wednesday was the 1st day he’d been cleared for contact. Now, another surgery. – 2:55 PM

Various ways Tom Thibodeau could go with the open starting point guard spot. Does he place Alec Burks back into the first unit, like he did when he benched Kemba back in the fall? Does Derrick Rose finally start? Is it Quickley? Does this clear any minutes for Miles McBride? – 5:26 PM

As noted earlier this week, Knicks’ root problem is having a bunch of players of roughly equal ability and no stars. But Kemba move at least creates daylight for more Quickley/McBride development minutes and makes it 12% funnier when Thibs DNPs Reddish.

More on this storyline
With still a couple of months remaining in the regular season, however, there have been rumors of a potential buyout for Walker. Several other teams have apparently shown interest in adding the former All-Star to their lineup as they look to give Kemba a fresh start. ESPN’s senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, however, has quickly doused some ice-cold water on that prospect: “There are a number of teams who would love to have Kemba Walker in a buyout,” Woj said on Thursday’s episode of NBA Today. “That’s not gonna happen. He’s not interested in that with New York.” -via Clutch Points / February 25, 2022
