How many more surgeries can Rose’s mind – his mind, not his body – handle? The basketball he played before and around his injuries was strong, but does it not carry him? Last year he was a big part of our success after we added Derrick and Taj [Gibson]. You hate to see someone get hurt, and he’s been through a lot of different things, but he understands what he has to go to get back. And hopefully he will come back and be able to help at the end of the year. He’s been through it so many times. He is mentally tough. He handled adversity quite well. And he’s played great basketball, so there’s a confidence that goes with it. Now he just needs to take his time, go through his rehabilitation, study his game, study the other teams and be ready when he comes back. – by NBA.com / 7 January 2022
