Rose (ankle) underwent X-rays after Friday's game against the Cavaliers, with the results coming back negative, ESPN Chicago reports. He'll travel with the team to Minnesota with the hope of playing Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

Given what has transpired with Rose the previous two seasons, Bulls fans were probably holding their collect breath when the point guard fell victim to another injury, but this one looks to be of the minor variety. It wouldn't be surprising if the Bulls rested Rose on Saturday to prevent the sprain from worsening, so his status is certainly still worth monitoring until he's officially cleared to play his next game. He was productive Friday despite being limited to 25 minutes due to the injury, finishing with 20 points, four rebounds and four assists in the overtime loss.
