Derrick Rose didn't practice with the Bulls on Wednesday because of flu-like symptoms.

Rose has played through a back injury and said after Monday's game against the Bucks that he would use Chicago's off-days to rest.

"He's going to be banged up," coach Tom Thibodeau said.

"Every guy in the league right now is banged up. I think he manages things well. He takes really good care of himself, and that's what he has to continue to do. He's an aggressive player. He's always attacking the rim. So he's going to get hit, and he's just got to continue to take care of himself."

The Bulls will play a back-to-back against the Magic and Pacers beginning Friday.
