Derrick Rose makes his long-awaited return to the Chicago Bulls tonight as he takes on the revamped New York Knicks. The 2011 MVP played just 10 games last season after suffering a torn meniscus against Portland. He averaged 15.9 points and 4.3 assists prior to his injury last season.
Also making his debut tonight is veteran forward Pau Gasol who signed a three-year, $22 million deal with the Bulls last summer. It will be a reunion of sorts for Gasol as he will take the court against his former coach Phil Jackson who is now the general manager of the Knicks.
Jackson was busy this past offseason appointing Derek Fisher as the new head coach while signing superstar Carmelo Anthony to a five-year deal worth $124 million. Anthony was the main gunner for the Knicks last season as he averaged 27.4 points and 8.1 rebounds in 77 games.
