No Rift Between Bulls, Derrick Rose

Bulls general manager Gar Forman reiterated Saturday there is no communication rift between Derrick Rose’s camp and the organization regarding the return date for the All-Star guard from his left knee injury.

“We talk all the time — high-level communication,” Forman told the Tribune on Saturday before scouting the DePaul-Pittsburgh game at Allstate Arena.

Forman said he would not comment on an ESPN.com report Friday that a source said Rose has medical clearance to resume playing after suffering a torn ACL 10 months ago.

Rose told reporters last month the organization is letting him decide when he is mentally and physically ready to play.

“(Rose) obviously has a big, big say in (when he returns),” Forman said. “From our medical staff to our training staff … everybody remains communicating on a consistent basis, with the goal being getting him back on the floor, 100 percent ready to play.”
