Derrick Rose spoke out about his limited playing time with the Detroit Pistons this season, despite his great performances.

“I feel good, but it’s not up to me with the minutes. It’s up to the coaching staff and the (medical) staff.

Of course, I want to be out there, but I guess they see something I don’t, and they’re worried about me.

It’s all up to them. It’s not me. Can I play them? Yes, if that’s what you’re asking me. I can play the minutes,” Rose said, per Vincent Ellis of The Detroit Free Press.

Rose posts 16.7 points and 5.9 assists per game this season, however he is averaging only 24.4 minutes of action.

The Pistons have lost seven of their last eight games and are at 12-22.
