Chicago Bulls’ champion Derrick Rose confirms his availability for Game-5: NBA Update
The Chicago Bulls’ champion Derrick Rose confirmed his availability for Game-5 against the Indiana Pacers. This game will be played on Tuesday night at United Centre, Chicago.
Although, Rose did not participate in the Monday’s practice session with his team-mates and took rest for his sprained left ankle, but he seemed much determined to play in the next important encounter with the Pacers. He spoke with the media regarding his
ankle when he said, “It's not broke, so I'm definitely going to be playing.” He further said as he will be taking a pain killer before the match and said, “I'm getting one for sure.”
On Sunday, Derrick Rose had a MRI scan on his left ankle who was injured against the Indiana Pacers in Game-4 on Saturday night at the Conseco Field-house, Indianapolis. After this particular injury Rose described about his condition as he said, “I really
can't explain it, I just took off wrong and my weight just pushed over my ankle and it ended up twisting.”
During that particular match against the Pacers, Rose was carefully treated upon his sore ankle by the Bulls’ doctors as he came back later in the game. However, Rose played until the end, but it was pretty apparent as he lost his full thrust and was not
looking full fit. On Sunday, Rose emerged in the Bulls’ film session where he was wearing a walking boot to support his injured ankle.
Rose also missed the practice session with his team. The Bulls’ Head Coach, Tom Thibodeau, was also there when he told the media about Rose and the recent MRI test and looked pleased as the test appeared negative.
The Chicago Bulls were defeated by the Indiana Pacers with 89-84 on Saturday in which the Bulls’ star was injured. His injury provoked their Head Coach, Thibodeau, to speak about Rose when he said, “It's hard to tell with him. He's so fast. The way he was
attacking ... now he didn't finish as well as he normally does. And he didn't get to the line. I thought as a team, we settled for the three too much.”
Now, Derrick Rose and all his coaches including the Chicago Bulls’ entire roster are contented as he will be playing the next game. The Game-5 would be a great battle between the Indian Pacers and the Chicago Bulls as the best-of-seven first round series
stands at 3-1. Though the Bulls are leading the series, but in this time around the Pacers will not be letting the Bulls to take the game away that easily. They already showed the true spirit of their talent when they came back in the Saturday’s game.
