As the Knicks went through the morning shootaround Tuesday preparing for the meeting with the Miami Heat Derrick Rose was just an observer, unable to participate while the team waited on Dennis Smith Jr.’s physical with Detroit to be completed. But Rose had already made an impact.
Rose arrived in Miami Monday night and sat down with Immanuel Quickley, easing any tension on how the veteran would impact the opportunities for the rookie.
"I got a chance to talk to him last night at dinner a little bit," Quickley said.
