Not long after he suffered an ankle injury on Friday against Cleveland Derrick Rose said the injury wasn't serious. While that may still prove to be true it is serious enough to keep him out of at least one game as the Chicago Bulls point guard will not play on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves according to the Chicago Sun Times.
Rose left Friday's game during the fourth quarter. He rolled his ankle in the second quarter but re entered the game before leaving again late. Rose underwent an X ray on the ankle and results were negative but the ankle must have been bothering him enough to keep him out of Saturday's game. Following the game on Friday Rose said he was walking around and everyone can breathe.
It's possible Rose's absence on Saturday is purely a precaution. The Bulls are playing a back to back and there is no need to rush Rose back onto the court this early in the season. Rose's injury history won't make it easy for Bulls' fans to relax however. He missed significant portions of the last two seasons and was just starting to look like his old self.
