When Derrick Rose returns to the Chicago Bulls, he is expecting to be more confident in his three-point shooting and could be more dangerous offensively than before.

"I'm feeling healthy, man," Rose said after a 70-plus minute pregame workout Friday. "That's the only thing that matters."

There is not a target date for Rose's return, but he is "at the end of the tunnel" of his rehabilitation process, according to a source close to the point guard.

Tom Thibodeau believes the Bulls have not pressured Rose to come back.

"This kid has done everything to come back," Thibodeau said. "When he is ready, he'll be ready and we will know. He is getting closer. We don't want him out there unless he's completely comfortable. He's handled his part great. Everyone has to remain patient, let him work through it and he's going to be fine."
