Derrick Rose will miss a second straight game with an ankle injury when the Chicago Bulls take on the undefeated Golden State Warriors on Friday.

Rose, who suited up for the first 10 games before rolling his left ankle in Monday's victory over the Indiana Pacers, is averaging 13.6 points and six assists on an effective field goal percentage of 38.7.

"If it wasn't this injury, if it was something else, I would've played," Rose said. "But this is slowing me a bit and I want to be right."

He added that the toughest thing right now is cutting and defense.

"I want to be able to able to defend in transition and play my game on the offensive end."

The 27-year-old has missed 131 games over the last three-plus seasons since becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history in 2011.
