LOS ANGELES -- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose will play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers after missing the second half of Monday night's loss to the Miami Heat because of right hamstring and back soreness. Rose went through all of Thursday's shootaround and expects to have no limitations on his minutes.
"Just felt something in my hamstring and it went towards my lower back," Rose said of his latest setback. "I just knew then that I had to pull myself so I made the decision and my body's healing.
