While the Sky attempts to earn a first-ever playoff berth, Toliver has played sparingly (14.4 minutes per game) and did not play at all in Sunday's loss at Detroit.

"Derrick Rose did a great job with the Bulls...coming in, being the leader and being aggressive from the beginning," Toliver said of the Bulls' No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft. "That's something all rookies can learn from ... his example of really setting the tone early and coming out and playing hard."
