Derrick Rose continues to stay out of Thibodeau‘s rotations. In his last 8 games, all of which New York won, Rose only played a few minutes against the Bulls. A strange fact if we think about the deep relationship between Rose and Thibodeau: “I learned a simple lesson: to still be here,” Derrick Rose told The Athletic. “First, I really appreciate understanding my role. I’m not here for the right, I’m not here to feel like I need minutes or something. I’m just here to win and try to help young people. I never thought I’d be in this position. I never thought I would play for so many years.”
Derrick Rose, like a true professional, doesn’t complain about his situation.
