Match Preview
Derrick Rose has played just once since suffering back spasms in a game against the New Jersey Nets earlier this month. Judging by the way the Chicago Bulls finished that game and have played since, they might not rush him back for the rematch.Rose appears closer to returning, but it remains unclear if he’ll be back Saturday when the Bulls go for their fifth straight win over the woeful Nets at the United Center.
Chicago played its fourth consecutive game without Rose on Thursday, improving to 7-2 this season without the reigning league MVP after defeating Boston 89-80.Coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose was more involved in Friday’s light practice - he wasn’t able to run at Thursday’s shootaround - but is still day to day. Thibodeau added that whether Rose comes back Saturday depends on “how he feels,” but the Bulls want him to be pain-free when he returns.Rose first felt the back spasms in a 108-87 win over New Jersey on Feb. 6, sitting out the entire second half. He played 22 minutes against New Orleans two nights later but has not been on the court since.“He wants to be out there so bad,” All-Star forward Luol Deng said. “I can see it. Everyone sees it. I keep telling him, ‘You’ve just got to be smart.’”
