Derrick Rose sits vs. Pacers with hamstring injury

The Chicago Bulls will be without former league MVP Derrick Rose on Wednesday night against the visiting Indiana Pacers.

Rose will sit out with right hamstring tendinitis, according to the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson.

This will be Rose''s third missed game of the season for the 17-12 Bulls. He missed back-to-back outings on Nov. 18 and 20 with an ankle injury.

His numbers through 27 games are the worst of his seven-year career, averaging 14.4 points on 38.6 percent shooting, with the Bulls scoring fewer points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor, according to Basketball-Reference.com.
