The doctor who operated on Derrick Rose's knee insists the Chicago Bulls' star can dominate again.
It will take time, though.
Rose faces a recovery of eight months to a year.
The assessment by team physician Dr. Brian Cole on Tuesday means the point guard could return around mid-January to early February, or miss next season. The doctor added there is a chance Rose could be back sooner, but ''we're not going to rush it.''
The Bulls had already said Rose has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Cole said there were also two tears in his meniscus cartilage.
He said Rose is ''doing great,'' that the surgery went ''extremely well'' and he can still be an explosive player.
