Bulls GM Gar Forman indicated Monday that the MRI on Derrick Rose's back has revealed no structural damage and is "strictly a muscle issue."
Rose's status is day-to-day.
The reigning MVP missed Sunday's loss to the Celtics as well as the Bulls' matchup with the Bobcats on Friday. He had to come out of the contest with the Nets last week in the first half after tweaking his back, then played just 22 minutes in the Bulls' blowout win over the Hornets two days later.
Rose is averaging 22 points and 7.8 assists per game so far this season.
