On February 18, Beijing time, according to ESPN, Knicks player Derrick Rose will make a comeback after the All-Star, while Rose is confident of making a comeback in the game on February 26. So far this season, Rose has played in 26 games for the Knicks, averaging 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, shooting 40.2% from three-point range.
In December last year, Rose withdrew early due to ankle discomfort in the Knicks game against Houston, and then rested for a week, but the injury still did not improve, and as a last resort, Rose underwent surgery on his right ankle and needed to rest for two months. During this period, the Knicks' record has plummeted, and the team is currently ranked twelfth in the East with a record of 25 wins and 34 losses, and there are still 3.5 wins away from the Hawks in the tenth place in the East.
Speaking of this season's Knicks, their form this season is very sluggish compared to last season's record. Previously, it was reported that Knicks executives believed that the reason for the team's poor performance was Thibodeau's tactical arrangements. In fact, this season's Knicks have suffered injuries from the opening stage, and then there is a lack of running-in between the players, and the state of veteran Walker and others is much worse than before, which makes Thibodeau's tactical system unable to be completely implemented.
If Rose returns from injury, he can provide some fire support on the Knicks bench, and the team also needs Rose to be present to organize a tandem attack. The Knicks desperately need a player who can control the backcourt, and while the team still has Walker and Fournier, they are averagely helpful to the team. You know, Rose has averaged 4 assists per game this season, second only to Randle in the Knicks.
The All-Star Weekend is about to begin, the Knicks players will also be rested, and after the All-Star, Rose is about to return to the team, when the team can bottom out, let's wait and see!
