The doctor who operated on Derrick Rose's knee insists the Chicago Bulls' star can dominate again.
It will take time, though.
Rose faces a recovery of eight months to a year.
The assessment by team physician Dr. Brian Cole on Tuesday means the point guard could return around mid-January to early February, or miss next season. The doctor added there is a chance Rose could be back sooner, but ''we're not going to rush it.''
The Bulls had already said Rose has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Cole said there were also two tears in his meniscus cartilage.
