(CBS) The Knicks announced Tuesday they have fined but not suspended guard Derrick Rose a day after he mysteriously missed the team’s game without giving executives, coaches or teammates prior notice. He’s expected to be available to play in New York’s game at Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Rose missed New York’s loss to New Orleans on Monday night at Madison Square Garden, no-showing to the surprise of everyone in the organization. He’d been with the team at Monday morning shootaround before going AWOL, and the team wasn’t able to reach him until after tip-off, according to reports. It raised concern, and the Knicks could give no explanation to his whereabouts.
Rose was back in his hometown of Chicago, according to multiple reports.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 draft, Rose spent his first eight years in the league with the Bulls before being traded to the Knicks in June. He’s averaging 17.3 points and 4.5 on 44.3 percent shooting this season.
