Rose rejoins Knicks, being on court 'like heaven'

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- A confident, relieved Derrick Rose was excited to put his civil lawsuit trial behind him and finally get back to basketball with the New York Knicks.

Rose rejoined the team Saturday for the first time since Oct. 4, when he left for his trial in Los Angeles after a preseason game in Houston.

Rose and two friends were found not liable in a civil lawsuit that accused them of gang-raping Rose's ex-girlfriend when she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol. Rose and his friends were being sued for $21.
