Bulls forward Luol Deng missed his 13th game because of a shin
News: Bulls forward Luol Deng missed his 13th game because of a shin injury Thursday against the Hear. He said Wednesday he would try to run at some point this week, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. "I saw him jogging [Wednesday] a little bit and taking some shots," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He still has discomfort. Once he gets out running, we'll have a better barometer. He's trying to get back, but he has to give his body time to heal. I'm not going to put him out there until he tells me he can't really reinjure it and he's healthy. I think that's going to be a little bit of time." [...]

Deng saw an orthopedic surgeon Monday, who revealed the injury. All Deng can do now is rest and hope the injury heals within the next two weeks. If not, surgery is likely, and a three-month rehabilitation process likely would occur. Deng will continue to perform non-weight-bearing exercises such as running in a swimming pool or on a "weightless" treadmill to keep him in cardiovascular shape. "It's tough," Deng said. "Emotionally it's been tough not knowing what's going on. ... It needs attention." [...]

The biggest concern right now is the injury doesn't seem to be improving despite aggressive treatment, which has included electric stimulation. Deng has missed the past three games with the injury.

I'm not sure what I'm really looking at. It's definitely a bruise. But in the X-ray, the blood vessel looked like a fracture. The MRI shows there's nothing there. I think right now I'm going to have some pain, but I don't think I can make it worse. On certain plays, I'm not jumping as well as I want to. It's almost like a shin splint. It feels that way." [...]
