NEW ORLEANS -- Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, All-Star center Pau Gasol, and veterans Taj Gibson and E'Twaun Moore will not play in the team's final two regular season games.
Rose, who admitted he was 'kinda speechless' by the fact that the Bulls did not qualify for the playoffs for the first time since the 2007-08 season, said he would sit out after dealing with myriad injuries throughout the year. Rose missed most of training camp after fracturing his left orbital bone in the team's first official practice of the year.
