Derrick Rose Limited To Six Minutes Due To Sore Back
10 months agoMemphis Grizzlies point guard Derrick Rose left Wednesday's contest against Minnesota early due to back soreness, logging only six minutes. Facing one of his former teams, Rose tallied two points and an assist coming off the bench. Rose will now get to rest his back for a day before Memphis starts a back-to-back on Friday versus Portland. It looks certain he will sit out at least one of the contests, and it wouldn't be surprising at all to see the Grizzlies finish the week without Rose. Memphis' most recent backcourt injuries have made Jordan Goodwin a guy to monitor. He struggled to score against the Timberwolves but had eight rebounds and eight assists with two steals in 31 minutes.
