Derrick Rose Tweaks His Hamstring [UPDATE]

Derrick Rose, who has been battling nagging ankle injuries throughout this short season, left the game in Toronto tonight after tweaking his hamstring on a drive. The extent to which it will be lastingly serious remains unclear, though Rose didn’t head to the locker room and Rachel Nichols reported on the TNT broadcast that he wasn’t checked out by trainers. Perhaps the Bulls would be wise to prevent their hobbled point guard from speaking with the media between now and the next time he plays.

UPDATE: According to Rachel Nichols, the Bulls say that Rose tweaked his hamstring, not his ankle as it initially appeared. (A previous version of this post said it was his ankle.)
