Derrick Rose did not play on Sunday afternoon against the Celtics as he continues to be limited by back issues.

Rose has been limited by back spasms for weeks and also sat out Friday’s win over the Bobcats.

“I told coach it didn’t get any better and he told me to sit out,” Rose said before Chicago took on Boston. “I’ve got to be able to move, get up without hurting and be myself. Whenever I feel there is no pain there anymore I’ll be ready to go.”

Tom Thibodeau said Rose will see a specialist on Monday. Chicago will host Sacramento, Boston and New Jersey this week without any back-to-back contests.
