Derrick Rose (knee) 'unlikely' to play Friday

Derrick Rose (knee) is "unlikely" to play on Friday, according to Tom Thibodeau.

We've learned not to read too much into quotes about Rose, though it's quietly encouraging that he is even under consideration to play on Friday. He's been medically cleared to play but won't return until he feels "normal" and can go full-tilt without any mental reservations. Keep him stashed and consider him 'out indefinitely' until we get a concrete report about a return date.
