Rose 'Should Be Ready To Go' Against Hornets

(CBS) Derrick Rose, who left Monday's game in New Jersey with back spasms, says he expects to play tonight against the Hornets in New Orleans.

Rose will still be a game-time decision, but he spent Tuesday's off-day in New Orleans resting and feels a lot better.

''I should be ready to go tonight," he said Wednesday morning. "Game-time decision. I'll see how it is when I go out there and I should be all right.''

The Hornets are just 4-21 on the season, but head coach Tom Thibodeau once again reiterated that he won't sit Rose if the point guard is healthy enough to play.
