Despite Derrick Rose shooting a few free throws on Tuesday, the Bulls said Rose "most likely" will miss all eight exhibition games and placed his participation for the Oct. 27 regular-season opener against the Cavaliers in jeopardy.
"They still want him to be a little bit careful just with the swelling, make sure that his vision is back to where it’s supposed to be," coach Fred Hoiberg said following Tuesday's practice.
The Bulls open with a back-to-back scenario and three games in four nights. No definitive decision on Rose's status for the regular-season opener has been made.
