Though Rose will play Thursday against the Rockets, he's still dealing with considerable pain in his elbow, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Rose hyperextended his elbow Tuesday against the Pacers and conceded that he'll likely do most of his dribbling and passing with his right hand only. Of course, that's his dominant hand, but Rose's effectiveness will likely be limited, and Johnson reports that it's "no guarantee [Rose] finishes the game."
