MIAMI — At least it’s not his knees.
Derrick Rose’s status for Wednesday’s showdown against the Cavaliers is up in the air after he suffered back spasms in the third quarter and made an early exit from the Knicks’ 114-103 victory over the Heat on Tuesday night.
Rose said it was not just his back, but part of his right side that was bothering him. That has him more worried than if it were more contained. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said Rose felt tightness all the way to his groin.
“It’s just the right side, right leg, everything fatigued, it kind of quit,’’ Rose said.
