Derrick Rose: Leaves With Tight Hamstring
Rose is dealing with left hamstring tightness and will not return to Tuesday's game, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports.
Analysis:
He did not join the Bulls out for the second half, and reportedly looked disinterested and passive in the first half, so he may have been playing through the tightness and decided to sit out at halftime. This is just another minor setback for Rose, and at this point, owners should not be remotely surprised when he doesn't play, or comes out midway through a game. Consider him day-to-day, with Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Brooks stepping up if needed.
