Derrick Rose (hamstring) avoided contact at Tuesday's practice and is still dealing with soreness in his hamstring

Rose (hamstring) avoided contact at Tuesday's practice and is still dealing with soreness in his hamstring, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Rose exited Monday's game after tweaking the hamstring, and he also cited pain in his lower-back. The Bulls have not ordered an MRI, which seems like an encouraging sign, but at this point it's very much unclear whether Rose will be available for Thursday's matchup with the Lakers in Los Angeles. Look for a more definitive update following Wednesday's practice.
