Derrick Rose will join Isaiah Thomas on the injury report for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The veteran point guard, who had stepped up into the starting lineup due to Thomas’s lingering hip injury, sprained an ankle during Friday night’s game at Milwaukee. Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue told reporters after the game that Rose appeared doubtful to play Saturday at Orlando.
