Derrick Rose has been nicked up all year, no pun intended.

Groin, back and now ankle. He needs to get it together before the playoffs, because the Bulls can not prosper without a healthy Rose in the playoffs, no matter what anyone tells you.

Rose, for starters, tweaked an ankle at some point in Sunday’s game, which he finished. The extent of the injury is unknown, however sources said Rose wore a walking boot on Monday and his availability for Tuesday’s shot at redemption against the Knicks is a game-time decision.
