Derrick Rose is out for Thursday night's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, but will play Friday when the Chicago Bulls face the Dallas Mavericks, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell.
The former MVP was forced to leave Tuesday night's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks after injuring his left knee.
Rose says "for sure" when asked if he'll play tomorrow.

Thursday marks the sixth game Rose has missed this season. However, the Bulls have performed well without the three-time All-Star, going 4-1 in his absence.
The 27-year-old has struggled in 2015-16, posting a career low in points per game (14.7) while shooting just 39.9 percent from the field and 25 percent from three.
