CHICAGO (AP) -- Derrick Rose left the Chicago Bulls' game against the Orlando Magic with a bruised right hip, throwing the point guard's status for this weekend's All-Star game into question.
Rose was injured about 2 1/2 minutes into Wednesday's game when he got knocked to the floor by Dwight Howard while driving for a layup. He clutched his lower back and was slow to get up.
He hit the free throw to complete the three-point play but left right after that.
After X-rays taken at the arena showed no structural damage, Rose went for an MRI at Rush University Medical and was unavailable for comment. His status for the All-Star game is in question.
"If [the MRI] is OK, we'll just have to see how his symptoms resolve over the next four days," trainer Fred Tedeschi said. "If there's not a great deal of inflammation, we can be optimistic."
Losing Rose would be a devastating blow for the Bulls. Last season's NBA Rookie of the Year, he made his first All-Star team and was selected for the U.S. national team pool Wednesday.
