On February 26, Beijing time, the Knicks officially announced that team guard Derrick Rose will undergo minor surgery on his right ankle again, and there is no specific comeback. According to previous reports, Rose withdrew from the Knicks' right ankle discomfort in December last year, and then underwent right ankle surgery, when he was expected to miss the game for 2 months, and was ready to make a comeback in the near future, but he did not expect to undergo a second surgery.
Knicks coach Thibodeau then revealed Rose's injury before the home game against the Heat, saying: "I don't know if this should be called an operation, in fact he just cleaned up the previous surgical part. According to the famous Wuj follow-up report: "Rose's minor surgery on his right ankle has been completed, he is mainly to solve the skin infection problem in the surgical area in December, optimistic estimates that he will return to the team lineup in the next 1-2 weeks." ”
This should be regarded as a blessing in disguise, since entering the league as a champion in 2008, frequent injuries have tormented Rose to the point of devastation, and even the idea of retiring was born at one point, so now we only hope that he can play healthy, and the Knicks are still counting on Rose to return and help the team impact the playoff quota.
Rose has played in 26 games for the Knicks this season, averaging 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 0.8 steals per game, shooting 44.5% from the field and 40.2% from three-point range, and rose's importance to the Knicks is self-evident in the case that the team has decided not to use Kemba Walker. At present, the Knicks have a record of only 25 wins and 34 losses, ranking 12th in the East, in terms of the current state of the team, if you want to impact the playoffs, you can only hope to reach the playoff place, if Rose returns, it will be a great supplement to the team's bench.
Since being traded from the Pistons to the Knicks last season, Rose has played an extremely important role in the team, the 20-21 season is the Knicks can achieve the fourth result in the East, this season's Knicks record declined, in addition to the decline in Randle's state, Rose's injury is also a big hidden danger.
