Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose has been dealing with neck soreness over the past week but says he is feeling fine heading into Saturday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The former MVP even joked that he may continue wearing the tape on the back of his neck all season if he has a big game because it helps him stay loose. Rose wore the tape on both sides of his neck.
"As long as the league allows me to," he said with a smile after Saturday's shootaround, when asked how long he would keep wearing it. "If I have a breakthrough game I might wear it the whole year."
Rose, who had to sit out a game three years ago because of a neck issue, believes the tape is helping him.
