Derrick Rose missed the morning shootaround and is a game-time decision for Thursday's Knicks game.
This news would be relatively benign other than the fact that coach Tom Thibodeau indicated that Rose missed the shootaround due to his "body" rather than his knee. That cryptic distinction could very well mean that Rose needs some rest after not playing all the entire 2012-13 season, but this is a situation we'll be monitoring very closely in case there is anything more serious at play.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
