The Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, and Timberwolves point guard and Chicago native Derrick Rose is questionable to play due to left ankle soreness.

Derrick Rose spent the first eight years of his NBA career with the Bulls and became the youngest MVP in league history in 2011. Rose has a ton of fans in Chicago, so people in the Windy City are on pins and needles, waiting to see if D-Rose will play at the United Center for only the second time as a visitor.

Derrick Rose grew up in Englewood, one of the 77 official community areas in Chicago, Illinois. The former league MVP is arguably the most decorated high school player in Chicago history. D-Rose was named Illinois Mr. Basketball in 2007 and won back-to-back Public League championships during his junior and senior year at Simeon Career Academy.

With the Timberwolves this season, Rose is having an All-Star caliber season, averaging 18.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game and shooting and efficient 48.5 percent from the field, 46.9 percent from beyond the arc and 84.2 percent from the free-throw line.

The last time Derrick Rose played at the United Center was back in 2016 when he was with the New York Knicks. Rose finished with 15 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds in the Knicks' 117-104 win over the Bulls.
