CHICAGO — Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose, the 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player, could be out between eight and 12 months following knee surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, the NBA team said.

“It’s really a series of progressions, very knee focused initially, which is what we’re doing now. We spread out from there, doing entire body conditioning, performance training and so forth.”

Rose could miss part of the 2012-13 season if the rehab takes as long as Cole indicated it might.
