Bulls' Rose in lineup vs. Celtics

Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports

It appears Derrick Rose's early exit from Tuesday's game in Denver was precautionary after all, just as Rose and head coach Tom Thibodeau said.

Rose is listed as a starter for Chicago's game Friday afternoon against the Boston Celtics, marking his first time suiting up for three consecutive games in over a year.

In the second game of his first back-to-back this season, Rose left Tuesday's contest against the Denver Nuggets early with tightness in his left hamstring.

Rose had missed four consecutive games heading into the back-to-back because of hamstring tightness. He's averaged 15.7 points, five assists and 2.4 rebounds in seven games so far this season.
