Derrick Rose: (Hamstring) Says He Will Be Back Tuesday At Latest

Rose (hamstring) says he wants to play in Monday's game against the Jazz, the Deseret News' Mike Sorensen reports. "I'm very close, if not today, tomorrow," Rose said before Monday's shootaround.

Analysis:

He is still questionable for Monday's game, but it sounds like owners should have him back by Tuesday. However, trusting Rose to remain on the court for several consecutive games is still a risky proposition. Look for Aaron Brooks to be a key contributor if Rose does not play Monday.
