"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau says he is unsure whether reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose will play in this month\u2019s NBA All-Star game, according to ESPN.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He's just doing his rehab right now, so we'll see,\" Thibodeau said on \u201CThe Waddle &amp;amp; Silvy Show\u201D on ESPN 1000. \"We'll see where (the back situation) is when we get there,\" Thibodeau said during an interview with the \"The Waddle &amp;amp; Silvy Show\" on ESPN 1000. \"We just want to do what's best. We don't know how it will be. That's down the road.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rose has been forced to miss the Bulls previous three games with back issues. While a recent MRI revealed that the 23-year-old had no structural damage to his back, he is still listed as day-to-day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With Rose out of the lineup, Chicago has gone 2-1 and still remain atop the Eastern Conference standings with a 24-7 record. Through 23 games, Rose has averaged 22 points and 7.8 assists per game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last season he averaged 25 points and 7.7 assists per game en route to becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history.\n&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
