What’s next for Derrick Rose?
Rose’s potential departure from New York isn’t surprising, as the team was looking for a trade that would be beneficial to the 34-year-old veteran. This season, Rose saw a significant reduction in his playing time in New York… Rose appeared in just 27 games and averaged 12.5 minutes per game, with 5.6 points and 1.7 assists Derrick Rose – New York Knicks
Jalen Brunson took the spotlight from Derrick Rose
The arrival of point guard Jalen Brunson, who signed a four-year, $104 million contract with the Knicks last season, led Rose out of the rotation. Besides, the team is committed to giving young guards Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes and Deuce McBride more opportunities. Despite Rose’s situation, the Knicks benefited from this move, posting a 47-35 record.
The Knicks returned to the playoffs before being eliminated in the conference semifinals by the Miami Heat.

The New York Knicks was the fifth team in Derrick Rose’s career
Just two years ago Rose returned to New York for his second stint with the team, after being traded by the Detroit Pistons. During the 2020-21 season, he finished in third place in voting for the Sixth Man of the Year award, averaging 14.9 points and 4.2 assists in 35 games with the Knicks. Before the 2021-22 season, the Knicks extended Rose’s contract to three years and $43 million. However, an ankle injury limited his participation to just 26 games that year. Despite his injury and decreased playing time, Rose, who is a former NBA MVP, still has the ability to contribute in the right place Derrick Rose – New York Knicks
