Rose Excused From Practice, Boozer Limited
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose missed practice Sunday to tend to a family matter, while Carlos Boozer participated on a limited basis.
Rose's absence was excused.
Boozer is recovering from turf toe on his right foot that surfaced during Game 5 of the Bulls' opening-round playoff series against Indiana. He sat out practice Friday and Saturday after the team had two off days.
The Bulls meet Atlanta in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with Game 1 on Monday at the United Center.
