Derrick Rose, after being forced to sit out Tuesday’s loss in San Antonio, was cleared to join the Knicks for the flight home to New York on Wednesday afternoon after multiple negative COVID-19 test results came back, according to a source.
The source said Rose’s COVID-19 test Tuesday was inconclusive, which caused him to miss the 119-93 loss to the Spurs due to the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols.
