Rose sidelined by ankle injury

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose was upbeat about his health despite being ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks while recovering from a sprained left ankle. Head coach Jeff Hornacek said Rose likely will miss Tuesday’s game in Washington and possibly more. “I don’t want to say because you never know with an ankle,” Hornacek said. Rose was hurt Friday in a win over the Charlotte Hornets. Rose said the ankle “started throbbing right away,” but didn’t swell.
