Bulls rookie Derrick Rose asked to come out of Chicago's win in Phoenix during the third quarter because of foot pain, the Daily Herald is reporting.

After scoring 26 points in 31 minutes, Rose left the game for good with 6:42 left in the fourth quarter after a two-handed fastbreak dunk that gave the Bulls a 101-91 lead.

"It's been hurting for a while," Rose said. "But I haven't dunked in so long. Tonight when I had a chance, it stung a little bit. They said it's really not that serious. I should be fine, just got to treat it."
