(Derrick) Rose will play his third game in as many nights Thursday, and coach Tom Thibodeau, an assistant for USA Basketball, couldn’t be more excited about the push he’s making this offseason.

“He’ll be fine,’’ Thibodeau told reporters. “He’s working every day. The only way you’re going to shake the rust off is by playing.

“Physically, he feels good. Mentally, he’s good. But he’s got to work on his timing. He hasn’t played in two years, basically. So it doesn’t happen overnight, and he understands that. He’s showing great patience. It’ll come.’’
