Rose injured his back and hamstring against the Heat on Monday and will not return to the game, Bulls radio announcer Chuck Swirsky reports.
Analysis:
Rose injured his lower back and right hamstring after landing awkwardly from a layup during the second quarter. He didn't come out with the team for the start of the second half and it has been announced that he will not return. It's unclear right now how serious the injury is, so Rose should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers. Aaron Brooks is in for an increase in minutes as long as Rose is hurt, as Brooks is the only healthy point guard on the roster.
