Bulls expecting Derrick Rose to play tonight

If all goes well at the morning shootaround, the Bulls expect Derrick Rose to play tonight against the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center. Rose has missed 20 games due to arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Feb. 27.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters at Wednesday's shootaround he expects Rose to play about 20 minutes tonight and the hope is Rose can do the same Thursday when the Bulls face Miami.
