The Chicago Bulls will again be without their two best players when the face the lowly Charlotte Bobcats on the road on Wednesday night. Both Derrick Rose and Luol Deng will sit out due to injury.

Rose's sore right foot will keep him out of the lineup for the 25th time this season. It's the fifth different injury Rose has sustained this season. Deng will miss his second straight game and 11th of the season with bruised ribs.
Chicago should still be able to overpower the Bobcats without Rose and Deng, though that was also presumed before Chicago's loss to the Washington Wizards on Monday night.
As for Deng and Rose's status on Thursday vs. the Heat?
Asked Thibs if DRose, Deng might play Thursday vs. Miami. "We're not even thinking about tomorrow," he said. #Bulls
