Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose will see a specialist after his ailing back kept him out of a second straight game The reigning NBA MVP missed Chicago's loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday. He also sat out Friday’s game against the Charlotte Bobcats and was limited in his previous two games. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose has dealt with back stiffness previously in his career. “Backs are tricky,” Thibodeau said. “That’s why he’s going to see a specialist.” Sunday's game marked the finale of a nine-game road trip for the Bulls, who own a league-best 23 wins. Chicago fell to 5-2 without Rose in the lineup this season. He battled a case of turf toe earlier this season. Rose is averaging 22 points and 7.8 assists per game.
