Bulls point guard Derrick Rose is still being slowed by his injured right ankle.

He sprained the ankle early in the preseason and the injury is still limiting him. Rose has yet to dunk this season, opting for layups.

"The times I've attempted to I was barely getting up," Rose said. "So I will just say it was a high layup."

Rose, who is averaging 14 points and 5.5 assists this season, knows that his ankle improves every day.

"Every day it's improving," Rose said. "...Before when I got up in the morning, I really couldn't walk well. I'd be stiff. But I haven't been stiff in about two or three weeks, so it's going fine."
