Report: Rose not expected back before March 1
Derrick Rose - G - Chicago Bulls
Feb. 12, 2013 - 5:45 PM ET

A source "close to the situation" tells Yahoo Sports that Derrick Rose (knee) is not expected back before March 1.

There has been no setback with Rose's rehab as he's reportedly "in a good place." But on Monday he admitted to only feeling around 85 percent and said he won't return until he's 110 percent -- something he said is "far away." The Bulls certainly won't rush their franchise player, especially since they're coasting along with a 30-21 record. Stashers need to keep expectations in check as Rose's minutes and games played will likely be restricted when he finally does return.
