Some Knicks officials and players are unaware as to why starting point guard Derrick Rose missed Monday’s game, The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Rose was a late, unexpected scratch from Monday’s game against the Pelicans. In his place, Brandon Jennings got the start.
The 28-year-old has averaged 17.3 points, 4.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds after coming over from the Bulls this summer in a trade. New York has lost 7 of 8 and is coming off a 123–109 road loss to the Pacers.
