After an examination Friday, the Bulls determined it was a mild
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.
--Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been
