Rose will play without restrictions this season, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Rose has been adamant throughout the summer that he's ready to accept a full workload when the season begins, and coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Rose will not be limited. The pair worked together with Team USA at the FIBA World Cup, where Rose showed flashes of his old self. Thibodeau said that the team will monitor Rose's health, but he expects the former MVP to play through any lingering rust.
