Derrick Rose will sit out his second-consecutive game Monday night against the LA Clippers due to a hamstring injury he suffered last week against the Toronto Raptors. Chris Paul just became that much harder for the Chicago Bulls to guard with Kirk Hinrich likely as the starting point guard.
Derrick Rose out Monday against Clippers. Said improving and Thibs said he went through most of practice.

Bulls still calling Rose day-to-day. But given how conservative they've been/fickle nature of hamstrings, wouldn't surprise if he sits more.

Rose: "There's no need for anyone to play through injuries with the talent we have in this team."

There’s no doubt that being cautious with a hamstring injury is a good thing; those injuries linger.
