Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - Chicago Bulls All-Star point guard Derrick Rose missed Friday's game at Miami and is listed as day-to-day after an MRI confirmed he has a sprained left wrist. During Thursday's loss to the Magic, Rose was driving the lane late in the first quarter and ran into Orlando center Dwight Howard. The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year fell hard to the floor and clutched his hand and back before making his way to the free throw line. He made 1-of-2 from the stripe before exiting the game for good. A similar scenario played out the last time these two teams met in February, but Rose missed only the remainder of that game. There is no fracture or ligament damage to the wrist. Rose is averaging 20.4 points and 5.7 assists in 64 contests. Friday will be the first game he misses this year.
