Derrick Rose on ankles: 'Don't worry'

CHICAGO -- Derrick Rose sprained his left ankle in Friday night's 114-108 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

A league source told ESPN.com that Rose also sprained his right ankle during the second half, but that injury isn't believed to be serious, either.

Rose was in good spirits after the game, even joking around with reporters. He said X-rays were negative, but his status for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves is uncertain at this point. He had a simple message for the city of Chicago as he got ready to leave the Bulls' locker room.

"Don't worry, it's just an ankle sprain," Rose explained before taking a long-term approach to his health during his brief media session.
