Knicks' Derrick Rose Returns To Team, Fined For Unexcused Absence

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose is back with the team after missing Monday's game without permission. The Knicks tweeted that Rose was fined but is expected to be in uniform for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.  

Rose did not show up for Monday's 110-96 blowout loss to New Orleans at Madison Square Garden.  ESPN reported Rose contacted team officials late Monday night and told them he had returned to his home in Chicago to tend to a family situation.
