Derrick Rose finally returned to the court against the Knickerbockers Sunday after missing 12 games with a groin injury.

In non-NBA news, Kentucky defeated Kansas 67-59 to win the national title (and hopefully your bracket. Actually your coworker who picked teams based on mascots probably won it). Maybe Anthony Davis will finally shave off his playoff Unibrow… Hmmm playoffs.
