Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose said he was unsure if he would be able to play in Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics.
Rose sat out Friday's romp over the Charlotte Bobcats due to backs spasms.
He played limited minutes in Wednesday's win over the New Orleans Hornets and was removed from Monday's game due to tightness in his back.
The reigning MVP has been receiving massages and other treatments in an attempt to alleviate the problem.
C.J. Watson started Friday's game in place of Rose, who is averaging 22.0 points and 7.8 assists this season.

Say what you want about Isiah Thomas, but he was one of the all time greats of the NBA. In my opinion, he gets overlooked during the “golden years” of the 80s. They always mention Magic, Bird, and Jordan, but fail to mention Thomas. He was one of the fiercest competitors that ever played. For a little guy, he had a lot of heart and was one of the toughest players in the...

Good to get back in the win column, especially against the Rondo-hatingest group of fans. They start out pretty arrogant and just like most teams, start attacking their own players when things don't go so well. Their reaction to Boozer's hair was hilarious. I hope you enjoy today's winning comments from the other side! What's your favorite?

Steve Rosenbloom: Derrick Rose missed the national TV game in Boston because of back spasms that racked him when he played against the pathetic Hornets last week, a game where the Bulls didn't need him, a game that might cost the Bulls the season. And if that happens, coach Tom Thibodeau gets all the blame.
