After missing almost six weeks following a meniscectomy on his right knee Feb. 27, Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose returned to the starting lineup in Wednesday night’s 105-103 loss to the Orlando Magic.

After it was over, Rose acknowledged that he felt “good” being back on the floor with his teammates, but was disappointed they couldn’t get a win against a non-playoff team in the Magic.

“I’m just happy to be playing,” Rose said. “It’s not one thing. The shots I put up, I felt they were good shots, hard shots, and I’m more concerned with us losing more than anything.”
