			strain, the Chicago Tribune reported. No MRI was needed, and Rose is 
			listed as day-to-day. 
 The Bulls' next game is a home contest on Saturday against the 
			Indiana Pacers. Coach Tom Thibodeau would not speculate on Rose's 
			availability for that game, according to the report. The Bulls have 
			been conservative regarding Rose's playing time following injuries 
			in the past.
 
 Rose had 20 points on 5-for-14 shooting from the floor before 
			tweaking his hamstring late in the 100-93 win over the Toronto 
			Raptors.

			Yahoo Sports after the Nets' 107-99 loss to the Golden State 
			Warriors on Thursday night.
