New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose will undergo a minor procedure on his right ankle Friday, the team announced.
Rose had a skin infection in the area where he underwent ankle surgery in December and there's optimism he'll return in one-to-two weeks, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Knicks also agreed to shut down veteran guard Kemba Walker for the remainder of the season on Thursday.
Pre-injury Rose averaged 12 points per game with four rebounds and three assists while appearing in 26 contests for the Knicks this season.
The Knicks start the second half of their season against the Miami Heat on Friday. The Knicks have a record of 25-34, putting them 12th in the Eastern Conference.
