The New York Knicks have officially reacquired point guard Derrick Rose from the Detroit Pistons, the team said in a statement Monday. The Knicks will send point guard Dennis Smith Jr. and a 2021 second-round pick to Detroit to complete the trade.
Rose, 32, now joins the Knicks for the second time in his career. He spent the 2016-17 season with New York and averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists per game. Rose was also the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft and took home an MVP award in 2011.
