Derrick Rose was present at shootaround but then disappeared and didn't come back for Monday's game against the Pelicans. Knicks officials eventually heard from Rose after the team's loss to New Orleans and he is reportedly doing fine. It remains to be seen what Phil Jackson and the Knicks brass will do with Rose. They could suspend him, trade him or elect to buyout his contract. Rose has been upset with the fact that Ron Baker has closed out games for him lately. (NY Daily News)
