"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Derrick Rose's recovery from ACL surgery in May is going quicker than expected, according to teammate Taj Gibson. (Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Derrick Rose's recovery from ACL surgery in May is going quicker than expected,\u00A0 said teammate Taj Gibson in a report from Adam Fluck of Bulls.com:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI think he\u2019s improving quicker than people have expected him to improve.

Rose went down with the Bulls up double digits in the final minute of the teams Game 1 win against the Philadelphia 76'ers in the first round.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI think he\u2019s going to be better in my honest opinion,\u201D Gibson reiterated. \u201CIt\u2019s tough when you\u2019re coming off so many different injuries. You [usually] don\u2019t have time to work on your body [during the season]. But after this injury, he\u2019ll understand more than ever how important it is to maintain your body and stay on top of your legs. As he works through this recovery, he\u2019s already been pushing his legs and it\u2019s great.\u201DDespite missing 27 games in a shortened season of 66 games, Rose averaged 21.8 points and 7.9 assists.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
