Knicks' Derrick Rose: Doubtful for Friday

Rose (back) is doubtful to play Friday against Kings, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Rose exited Tuesday's game against the Heat due to back spasms and was unable to return due to the pain. His continued discomfort forced him to sit against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, making that his first absence from a game during the 2016-17 season. Rose is currently considered day-to-day, but it appears as if he needs more time to recover. A final call on Rose's status will be made close to game time, but fantasy players should plan on Brandon Jennings starting another game Friday night.
