Grizzlies' Derrick Rose: Doesn't return after early exit

Rose left Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Timberwolves with back soreness and didn't return. He logged two points (1-2 FG) and an assist across six minutes.

Wednesday's game marked Rose's third straight appearance, a feat he hadn't accomplished since the middle of December. However, he was unable to finish the contest and will have a day to rest before the Grizzlies embark upon a home back-to-back Friday and Saturday against Portland. Expect Rose to miss at least one of those contests.
