The Chicago Bulls are playing better than most could have anticipated coming into the season. Still, that should not affect the rehab and recovery of Derrick Rose.
On April 28, the star point guard went down with a torn ACL. Since then, he has been working his way back without a set date for a return.
Of course, many expected the Bulls to struggle all year long without the 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player. That has not been the case, as the team has started the year with a 30-21 record.
Led by Luol Deng and Joakim Noah, the team is currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and is only five-and-a-half games behind the Miami Heat for first.
As the league heads into the All-Star break, there are two realistic outcomes for the rest of the season for Chicago.
The first is that the Bulls continue the great play and want to rush Rose back in order to make a push for the playoffs and contend for a title.
Alternatively, the team could start to struggle and it will want to rush him back to save the season.
Neither option would be wise for the long-term success of the organization.
