 Rose had a meniscectomy on his right knee on Feb. 27 and was
expected to miss four to six weeks. He has missed 20 games since
having the procedure.
"Only he knows his body and that's the big thing," Thibodeau said
before Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. "So he's got

and 3.1 rebounds.
Rose told ESPN he and the Bulls were "taking it day by day, really
day by day" in regard to his comeback.
