According to Simeon coach Robert Smith, Rose stepped on Tim Flowers' foot yesterday in practice and rolled his right ankle.

Rose has tweaked the ankle numerous times in his high school career. He's usually ready to go in two to three days. The last problem came over the summer at ABCD Camp in Teaneck, NJ.

"It's more of a precautionary thing," Smith said. "He wants to play and he probably could if we needed him to. He can sort of walk."

Smith expects Rose to be fine for Simeon's first round game against Jacksonville at the Pontiac Holiday Tournament on Thursday.
