Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday that Derrick Rose is "doing great" in his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

"He has a great support system," Thibodeau said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "His family is fantastic. They've been great with him.

"He comes in every day. He's diligent. He's moving along well."

Meanwhile, Thibodeau said he talks to Rose almost every day.

"I think he understands what he has to go through, and he's approaching it like he does everything else," Thibodeau said. "His rehabs are his games and practices right now.

"His concentration in rehab is fantastic. He just has to be patient and keep doing what he's doing."

Rose suffered six different injuries during the season, limiting him to 39 games in the lockout-shortened 66-game season. Thibodeau, who faced constant questions about his playing time for Rose throughout the season, said he has no regrets with how he used him.

"I look at it overall and when you look at the season, Derrick played about 1,300 minutes this year," Thibodeau said. "When you look at where it ranks in the league for a player of his caliber it's really low. I think in overall minutes he was like 154th in the league (165th with 1,375). I think in minutes per game it was 28th or 30th, somewhere in that area (actually he was tied for 23rd at 37.0). I think it was unfortunate. It was one of those years where he had a lot of different injuries.

"I don't look back and regret that. I think it's unfortunate, it happened and you just have to move on."

Rose isn't the only Bulls player dealing with an injury. Forward Luol Deng played most of the season with torn ligaments in his left wrist which might require surgery. If he does have surgery, it likely will come after the Olympics because Deng intends to play for Team Great Britain this summer.
