Whenever I\u2019m out there and I\u2019m overthinking and not reacting, it was time. I tried everything from taping my ankles. Even after the games, taping my ankles because it was hurting so bad. Just tried every thing you could do and it was still hurting. That\u2019s when I looked to get the surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had never felt that pain before,\u201d Rose said.<\/p>\n<p>Rose said he was cleared to jump a few days ago but still is a couple of weeks from a practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a slow progress,\u201d Rose said. \u201cI still have scar tissue. Whenever you reach that progression like that, within the next few weeks, I\u2019m able to jump now. I\u2019m out of my boot. I\u2019m looking at that as exciting for me. Not having to sleep in a boot. It sucks but at the same time I was prepping myself for this grind. After I found out, I had to change my mindset to get right for it. It is my fifth, sixth rehab. I can\u2019t complain, can\u2019t bitch about it. I just have to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knicks point guard Derrick Rose revealed his plan is to return very soon after the All-Star break.
