Derrick Rose has been in California rehabbing his knee over the last couple of weeks, and according to his brother, the Bulls point guard is walking around without a brace.
"He's walking without a boot," Reggie [Rose] said. "He's way ahead of schedule.
"It's just keeping him focused, and we're not trying to rush him. Basically, just rehab, rehab, rehab. We haven't put nothing basketball in his face."
