Tom Thibodeau said it is "most likely not" that Derrick Rose will practice with the Chicago Bulls this season.

Rose suffered a torn meniscus in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Rose has been around the Bulls more over the past month and the team appreciates his presence.

"He’s in the gym non-stop, just working on his body getting better," Joakim Noah said. "That’s what it’s all about. He’s a big part of this team. He has that mentality of having no regrets. Just give it everything you got. If you can go, you can go. If you can’t, you did everything you could to make it.

"He’s working really hard. He’s always around the team, being a great leader, showing support to his teammates. Just watching him work every day I think is extra motivation for us to go out there and go harder."
