Derrick Rose will probably sport the mask for a good portion of the season. The general return date for most players is between five to 28 games range for a facial fracture.
It seems Jimmy Butler’s wish to play the point guard position will be granted as Fred Hoiberg will look to make experimental changes to the rotation with Derrick Rose and Mike Dunleavy out with injuries.
