Meeting with reporters following his second game back from knee surgery Thursday night, Derrick Rose was noncommittal on whether he had actually played in either contest.

“Did I come back?” asked Rose, who logged a combined 40 minutes in a loss Wednesday to Orlando and a win Thursday over Miami. “You know, that’s up to God to decide.”

Reporters — who saw Rose show glimpses of his old self after missing 20 games — pressed Rose on the issue, but he maintained his normal evasive tactics, failing to actually answer any questions lobbed his way.

Rose said he hoped to be able to confirm whether he’s been playing in time for the playoffs.
