CHICAGO -- Bulls point guard Derrick Rose will miss his third straight game Saturday night against the Portland Trail Blazers, but Chicago did get some good news on the injury front when the MRI on Jimmy Butler's injured left knee came back with no surprises.
Rose is dealing with ongoing problems with right hamstring tendonitis, and Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg said before Saturday's game that he is "still sore."
"I actually worked Derrick out this morning and he looks better," Hoiberg said. "He looks a lot better than he did the last couple days but [he's] still having trouble exploding off that leg, so he'll sit again tonight.
