in mid-air by Magic C Dwight Howard(notes). Rose fell on his left wrist trying to break the fall and had to sit out Friday’s game in Miami. An MRI exam showed nothing more than a bruise, but Rose has been waiting. He may try to play against Philadelphia on Saturday.
• F Luol Deng (right calf strain) was injured during the March 9 loss to Utah and is expected to miss a few more weeks, but there is no timetable for his return.
• C Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis, left foot) sat out seven games surrounding the All-Star break to rest a sore foot. He returned to play in four contests, capped by a 27-minute performance against Portland on Feb. 26. He was scheduled to sit out until March 24, but suggested recently he might try to play on Saturday at Philadelphia.
• C Jerome James(notes) (torn right Achilles’ tendon) hasn’t played since early last season when he was with the Knicks. No one is counting on any contributions from him, but he’s vowed to get healthy and play sometime this season. He’s running again, but needs to pass a fitness test before he’ll be allowed to practice.
