Derrick Rose is content playing garbage minutes for the surging New York Knicks despite the reported interest of the Phoenix Suns.
Rose, 34, had a cameo during the final 2:21 of the Knicks’ 128-106 rout of the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night. The former MVP missed all four attempts but seemingly enjoyed the adoration of the Knicks’ home crowd, who chanted his name and egged Tom Thibodeau to put him in when the game was already beyond the Pelicans’ reach.
