Of course the ATL
The only way you're gonna gain total confidence is to test it. Was he planning on playing in a wheelchair for the rest of his career? If you're medically cleared, get your ass out there. :what:

He was testing it in practice with the Bulls for weeks and practiced with them the rest of the season. If he wasn't confident in his ability to play at the level HE was accustomed to playing at, then he was right to keep practicing and return when he felt 100%. Knee injuries aren't regular scrapes or bruises breh, if you tear your knee up the recovery time can be different depending on the severity of the injury & the body of that person.

A doctor saying his knee was structurally fine doesn't mean he was ready to then go play a 48 minute NBA basketball game the next day breh

PG is the most over-saturated position in the NBA right now....almost 50% of the league has top shelf PG's....and there's more coming out of the drafts over the course of the next few years.

He was practicing with the team for MONTHS and by all accounts the best player on the floor. No one's gonna come back from an injury and pick up where they left off before the injury. You work your way back into it.

Was he dogging it in practice? No. So why is a game gonna put any more pressure/stress on his knee? Ease your way back into it ON THE FLOOR. Kinda like what he had been doing this season so far, but he wasted an entire season in the process.

Yeah, but at the end of the day Rose has a max contract, if he's diminished it hurts the Bulls beyond just his production.
