CHICAGO -- Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant said Tuesday he was confident Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose would return a better player after completing his rehab for his ACL injury.

“I know he’s going to get stronger and better,” Durant said. “I’ll be praying for him, of course. I’m watching his videos online. I know he’s going to have a really, really nice comeback here for the Bulls and be at full strength.

“I think he’ll be better with all the weight training he’s doing, strengthening his body and his core. He’s doing everything he needs to do. He’s going to come back stronger and better.”
