Derrick Rose rejoined the New York Knicks on Monday after being out multiple weeks with what he confirmed to be COVID-19.

Rose's family, including his children, also had COVID-19.

"It's real," said Rose. "The COVID thing, I know a lot of people overlook it but it's very serious. It's real... I had the flu. It was nothing like the flu...It was that times 10."

Rose last played on February 28th and likely won't be ready for game action for several more days.
