Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose said he is "far away" from returning from knee surgery.
Sidelined all season, Rose has been practicing and traveling with the team. But in an interview with USA Today, he said he had no specific timetable for a return.
Rose said he was not coming back until he's "110 percent" and added, "Who knows when that will be?"
He said that it could be any day, within a few weeks, or even next year. Asked how close he is to 110 percent, he responded, "Probably in the high 80s. Far away. Far away."
