MILWAUKEE -- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose left Tuesday night's 106-101 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks late in the fourth quarter because of left patellar tendonitis.
It is unclear exactly when Rose suffered the injury. Initially, Rose exited the game early in the third quarter and was checked out by Bulls trainer Jeff Tanaka at the end of the bench.
Tanaka worked on Rose's left leg for a while before Rose took a device and rubbed it along his leg in an effort to get the muscles to loosen up.
