Derrick Rose sat the entire second half of Wednesday’s Bulls-Hawks game because of some soreness in his knee. While the Bulls ended up winning the game and locking up the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, Rose sitting on the bench was only due to the team wanting to play it safe with their point guard before the playoffs, K.C. Johnson reports.
Many Twitter users were worried about Rose suffering a potential injury again:
