Derrick Rose's toe may not be healthy enough to go on Friday against the Boston Celtics.
Rose missed Wednesday's game, as he was wearing a walking boot and he was seen in that same boot on Friday during a shootaround. However, he is still a game-time decision for the game against the C's.
"He'll warm up tonight and see if he can go," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday morning, according to ESPN.com. "He's feeling a lot better today."
Rose may feel a lot better, but his replacement could be just as good. John Lucas III filled in for Rose against the Washington Wizards and scored 25 points in 48 minutes.
The Chicago Bulls have won nine of their last 10 games while the Celtics have fallen to 4-5 with two straight loses after winning four straight games.
