Derrick Rose spoke at length with reporters on Tuesday, briefing them on where he stands in his return from a repaired ACL.

"I’m waiting to that day where I feel normal," Rose said. "Until then, I will just wait. I haven’t had any pressure from the organization."

Rose hasn't had any setbacks, but he doesn't know if he will play this season.

"When I’m out there not thinking and just reacting, that’s how I know I’ll be ready."

Rose was initially targeting a return in mid-March.

"I don’t have a (return) date, to tell you the truth. I’m just taking my time. I haven’t taken any steps back. I’m getting stronger every day. I did every workout possible. The workouts are getting a lot easier. I’m moving in the right direction."
