"Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose will miss Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a toe injury. It will be the third straight contest the injury has prohibited his playing.

Earlier Friday, Rose said he has "a little regret" about playing two games last weekend on the injured toe. Rose did not participate in Friday morning's shootaround.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was vague about how much longer Rose would be relegated to the sidelines.

"It's day to day," Thibodeau said. "And the thing is, no one can say how he feels. Only he can say that. Each day he's moving in the right direction. And when he's ready to go, he'll go. Here's the thing about our team, we have more than enough to win with. So if he's hurt, he's injured, he doesn't play. If he can tolerate the pain, and he feels good enough, then he'll play. That's the way it is. This is the NBA." "
