Derrick Rose eager to face the Toronto Raptors

Rose expects to face Raptors

Derrick Rose has claimed that he should be fit to face the Toronto Raptors on Friday night following a hamstring injury.

The Chicago Bulls point guard suffered his latest injury in the victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday but he believes that he will be ready to return to the court in Toronto.

Rose told reporters: "Right now I'm feeling all right, just trying to rest, do a little treatment. But more than likely I'll be out there playing.

"I think everything I do or if I get hurt, it can be anything, it's going to be blown out of proportion. I'm doing fine and it shouldn't be anything to worry about."

Rose returned to the court in pre-season following over a year on the sidelines due to a knee injury.
