According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, the Bulls are still discussing retiring his jersey.

Via Johnson: "Bulls confirm what was speculated since he announced retirement because it’s Tom Thibodeau’s only trip to Chicago

This is celebration of Rose. As for jersey retirement, nobody wears No. 1 anymore so it’s unofficially retired. But as far as official, source: still being discussed"
