According to Steve Popper from Newsday, the New York Knicks will decline the team option in the player's contract. The information was later confirmed by ESPN.

Rose had a $15,596,339 team option in his deal.

The rise of Jalen Brunson, Immanuel Quickley, and Deuce McBride diminished Rose's playing time. He played in just 27 games during the 2022-23 season, averaging 5.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. In the last two seasons, he played in only 53 games.

Rose has played for five different franchises in his NBA career, holding averages of 17.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists.

Before a devastating ACL injury completely changed the course of his career in 2012, he was one of the most dominant guards in the league and was named the league MVP in 2011.
