Ever since Derrick Rose tore his left ACL against the Philadelphia 76ers on April 28th, Bulls fans have been eager to learn of any information on his injury. Rose had surgery last month and is already making strides towards returning to the court sooner than expected.
CHICAGO — Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose is “ahead of schedule” in the rehabilitation process on his torn left ACL, according to Dr. Brian Cole, who performed surgery on the former MVP last month
ESPNChicago.com reported Tuesday that Rose traveled to Alabama to consult with famed surgeon Dr. James Andrews. But Cole, the head team physician for the Bulls, noted that it was actually a therapist in Andrews’ office with whom Rose is working. Cole said the trip to Alabama had been scheduled before Rose’s surgery. Andrews was not in the office nor will he meet with the 23-year-old All-Star, Cole said.
“Derrick is ahead of schedule,” Cole said in a phone conversation Wednesday night. “This was part of the plan established before surgery. This was not a consultation with another physician, but rather it’s working with another therapist in collaboration with the Bulls’ training staff.”
Cole also brushed aside speculation that Rose has had a setback in the process.
“Nothing could be further from the truth,” Cole said. “He’s ahead of schedule. [The rehab] is a way to keep things fresh for Derrick, to help give him some variety.”
Cole said after the surgery that Rose is expected to miss 8-12 months.
