- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose joined his teammates for Wednesday's shootaround, marking the first time he's traveled with his team and participated in a workout on the road since tearing his ACL on April 28. "It's good," said coach Tom Thibodeau before Wednesday's 96-94 win over the Magic. "He's been around the whole time. You guys don't see him as much as everyone else does, the team does, I should say. So I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's the next step in the progression for him. He's getting up to speed with everything offensively, defensively, his teammates.

Ricky Rubio tore his ACL in March. His return has been pretty bad so far - 4.2 PPG / 2 APG on .238 shooting. He's also struggling with the kind of nagging minor injuries Rose had last season before his injury - quite possibly due to favoring his knee all along (rehab and now playing). If it were up to me, I'd take a wait and see attitude and see how Rubio holds up (how long it takes him to regain form), and same for Schumpert. Ya know?
Yep, for every Adrian Petersen, there's a Ricky Rubio. Nothing's guaranteed. Still, it sounds good so far.
