Rose had 20 points and four assists on 5-of-14 shooting from the field at the time of the injury. It appeared he did not receive any attention on the bench from the Bulls training staff but was held out for the rest of the night.
Rose suffered two ankle sprains in the Bulls’ second game of the season, a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He proceeded to miss four of Chicago’s next five games. He returned in full against the Pistons on Monday and scored 24 points in a Chicago victory, one of his best individual performances since suffering a torn ACL in 2012.
