Rose (knee) will play Saturday against the Bucks, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Rose was held out of the second half of the regular season finale due to knee soreness, but coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed the point guard will be ready to go Saturday. Thibodeau said both Rose and Joakim Noah, who's also been banged up of late, will play their usual complement of minutes, which should be in the 30-35 minute range.
