Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. He sat out last year while recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

In other injury news, Chicago’s Jimmy Butler was back in the lineup against Washington on Monday after missing a game because of a left thigh injury.
