Derrick Rose set to make season debut on Monday against Nuggets?

Will #TheReturn happen Monday? Speculation is growing that Derrick  Rose will take the court for the first time this season on Monday when the Bulls face off against the Denver Nuggets. While I’m sure this news excites Bulls fans, the hope is that Rose is truly ready and not simply feeling the pressure because news was leaked last week that he’s been medically cleared to play.

Bulls beat writer, Mike McGraw dropped this little nugget – pun intended. I’m clever. I don’t plan these things, they just happen – on Twitter late Friday night which only fuels the notion that we’ll have a DRose sighting on Monday.

Bulls announced today that Mon’s game vs. DEN is moving from CSN-plus to the main station. I’m sure fans can imagine a possible reason why.

The Bulls just wrapped up a West Coast road trip which has included losses against the Spurs, Lakers and Kings.But ended on a high note with a blowout Friday night against Golden State. They currently hold the fifth spot in the East.
