Derrick Rose has insisted that the hamstring injury he suffered on Monday night will not keep him out for longer than a "couple of days".
The Chicago Bulls point guard sustained the problem in the 96-81 win over the Cleveland Cavliers and was forced off the court in the fourth quarter.
"It's just a minor sprain," Rose told reporters. "Nothing serious. Hopefully I'll be better in a couple of days, but it's nothing big at all."
Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau agreed with Rose by suggesting that the injury was a minor problem.
"He tweaked it. When he gets re-evaluated, we'll have more information. It appears to be minor," Thibodeau revealed.
Rose now faces a battle to be fit for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
