NEW YORK -- Guard Derrick Rose was mysteriously absent from the Knicks' 110-96 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, and New York coach Jeff Hornacek shed no light on the situation postgame.
Pregame, the team announced that Rose was "not with the team." Rose was listed in the original starting lineup, but he was not in the locker room before the game. He was replaced by Brandon Jennings, who scored 20 points.
