Built Ford Tough Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng has a torn ligament in his left wrist and will be "out for a while," according to coach Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau described Deng as "week to week" and said no surgery is planned, but it is an option. "That's always a possibility," Thibodeau said. "The fact is it's his left wrist. After consulting with the doctors, he feels this is the best course of action. So obviously we're pleased that he doesn't have to have the surgery." An upbeat Deng tried to put a positive spin on the news. "I know it's a bad injury, and it sounds terrible, but I'll be fine," Deng said. Asked why he doesn't have surgery now, Deng said the 16-3 Bulls' title chances play a role in his decision. "I really feel like we have a very good chance of doing something special," Deng said. "And I feel like without the surgery I'll be fine. I just know what I can do with it and what I can't do. And I really think I'm going to be very effective out there. There's going to be days when it's sore." Deng injured his wrist in the fourth quarter of the Bulls' win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/7498176/chicago-bulls-luol-deng-torn-ligament-wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
