Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose is questionable to face Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday.
Rose is dealing with right hamstring tightness:
#Pistons injury report for #Nets game bears more bad news.
Derrick Rose is questionable with right hamstring tightness, although I wonder if it's a possible maintenance day.
Tim Frazier is questionable tonight with right shoulder.

Rose played 25 minutes against the Chicago Bulls on Friday. The former MVP put on a show for his hometown crowd, finishing with 23 points and seven assists in only 25 minutes.
Rose is on a minutes restriction with the Pistons right now. Head coach Dwane Casey admits it's difficult to have Rose on a minutes limit since he's been so stellar early on.
The Pistons are 2-4 on the season. They are still playing without All-Star power forward Blake Griffin.
Rose is averaging 20.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season. He's shooting 56.2 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the free-throw line in 25.0 minutes per contest.
The Pistons have no chance of defeating the Nets if Rose is indeed out. Reggie Jackson is still out with a back injury, which means Tim Frazier and Bruce Brown are going to continue to see extended minutes. Both players have struggled in the young season.
Detroit is managing Rose's workload and minutes very diligently thus far. Casey wants to make sure Rose is fresh for later on in the season.
The Nets played on Friday as well. They defeated the Houston Rockets at home.
