After joining the Chicago Bulls on the bench Sunday, Derrick Rose is now day-to-day as he works toward returning from a torn ACL.

“It’s day-to-day," Tom Thibodeau said. "Whenever he’s ready, he’s ready. We just want him to continue to improve, focus on his rehab and then, when he’s ready to go, we’ll all know. Everyone has to remain patient.”

Throughout the season, the Bulls have essentially termed Rose as out indefinitely, saying they have no timetable for his return.

Thibodeau also indicated there isn't much time left in the regular season for Rose to play.
