Hamstring, back injuries shelve Derrick Rose during Bulls loss image

Derrick Rose left a game Monday night and didn’t come back.

The Bulls guard missed the second half of his team's 89-84 loss to the Heat with right hamstring and lower back soreness. Rose played 13 minutes in the first half, scoring four points on 2-of-6 shooting, before he was replaced by Aaron Brooks.

It wasn't clear exactly when Rose's injuries occurred.

The 2011 NBA MVP has missed six games this season, including a three-game stretch earlier this month due knee and back soreness. 

The Bulls have now lost three of their last four games, and four straight at home.
