GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The Knicks hope to have Derrick Rose and RJ Barrett back when they return from the All-Star break on Friday night against Miami at the Garden.
The operative word is "hope." Neither is definite to take the floor for the first of the Knicks’ 23 remaining games.
Rose, who has been out since Dec. 16 after ankle surgery, practiced the last two days.
"He did everything," coach Tom Thibodeau said on Thursday. "He was fine. We'll see where he is tomorrow. There’s a possibility [he will play]. We want to make sure he’s ready to go.
