Derrick Rose is “most likely” out for the rest of the preseason, according to Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg, and his availability for the Oct. 27 regular season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers is in doubt as he continues to recover from a fractured left orbital.

“They still want him to be a little bit careful with the swelling and making sure his vision is back to where it’s supposed to be, back to where it was before he got hit, before they want him to get anything going on with his blood pressure spiking, is kind of how I understand it,” Hoiberg said.
