Point guard set to have scans in worrying new problem for NBA team.
The Chicago Bulls could be facing the possibility of losing their superstar point guard Derrick Rose to another knee injury, after leaving the court on Friday night.
Playing against the Portland Trailblazers, Rose left the game in the third quarter and did not return as his side lost 98-95.

Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said he was concerned for what the injury possibly might be as it seemed non contact related, with the club saying Rose will have a MRI in Los Angeles where their next game against the Clippers is scheduled.
Thibodeau on Rose, who will have an MRI tomorrow: “He has pain and he felt like he couldn’t push off his right knee.”

Thibs on Rose injury: “I didn’t see the play & he doesn’t remember [it]. It was a change in direction. I don’t think it was a contact play.”

Thibs on Rose: “I’m concerned. Anytime anyone goes down, you’re concerned. But I don’t want to speculate until we have more information.”
