Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose had surgery to repair his left eye socket Wednesday, a day after being elbowed in the face.

Coach Fred Hoiberg says the operation to repair a left orbital fracture "went as expected." He would not put a timetable on Rose's return or rule him out for the opener Oct. 27 against Cleveland.

Hoiberg says the 2011 NBA MVP was elbowed in the face by one of the team's big men after making a "great baseline drive" and passing to the corner.
