Miami Heat star LeBron James won't play tonight against the Bulls at the United Center. It will be the second straight game James has missed because of a sprained ankle.

James Jones will start at small forward for Miami.

When asked before the news broke if he wanted James to play, Bulls point guard Derrick Rose said:

"You always want the best players on the [opposing] team to play. You don't want someone to say you won because someone didn't play. But if he doesn't play, we'll just have to play whoever."
