"When I wake up, I usually can tell. … It's just sore and stiff. I don't know what to do. Hopefully it will heal in a matter of time."Rose has missed six games this season due to injury, battling through a bout of turf toe earlier in the schedule. Chicago is 5-1 without the all-star in the lineup this season.Rose is averaging 22 points and 7.8 assists per game. Reserve guard C.J. Watson started in his place versus the Bobcats, scoring seven points and recording five assists.
