The Chicago Bulls will be without Derrick Rose once again in tonight’s NBA action against the Orlando Magic.

The Chicago Bulls were hoping that they would have a healthy Derrick Rose this season, but he has already been dealing with health problems this season. Rose has been having issues with both of his ankles, and has now missed two straight games after the report that he will sit out tonight’s game against the Orlando Magic.

Needless to say, this has been a very disappointing start to the year for Rose but there isn’t too much reason to panic just yet. Ankle issues can be very nagging which could become an issue, but it’s still very early in the season and the Bulls are being very careful with them. The Bulls don’t view tonight’s game against the Magic as too much of a risk to sit him out, but not having Noah as well could make for a bit of an interesting game.

Rose has played in two games so far this year with the Bulls, averaging 16.5 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds. He has shown the same athleticism that he has possessed in the past, but now needs his body to cooperate and allow him to get back to leading his Bulls’ team.

Hopefully this will be the last game that Rose misses for awhile, and he can get back on the court tomorrow night against the Milwaukee Bucks.
