Rapid Reaction: Bucks 78, Bulls 74
CHICAGO -- Let's take a quick look at how the Milwaukee Bucks earned a 78-74 win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night at the United Center: How it happened: John Henson had a huge night for the Bucks going off for 25 points and 14 rebounds. Brandon Knight had 19 points and 10 rebounds in an ugly win. Mike Dunleavy led the Bulls with 24 points and five rebounds, but it wasn't enough for an undermanned Bulls team playing without Derrick Rose (knee), Jimmy Butler (toe), Luol Deng (Achilles) and Joakim Noah (knee bruise).

Bulls injury update: Luol Deng, Jimmy Butler miss practice Monday
It's uncertain when Deng and Butler will be able to return to the court. With 60 percent of their starting lineup out due to injury, the Bulls scored just 75 points and stunk up the joint in a 17-point loss to the Pistons on Saturday. Expect the Bulls to be without 60 percent of their starting lineup again Tuesday against the Bucks, as Luol Deng and Jimmy Butler both sat out of practice on Monday. Deng is the most recent Bull to go down with an injury. The forward missed Saturday's debacle with an Achilles injury, although in typical Bulls fashion, it was initially said to be an issue...

Luol Deng joins Bulls’ injured list with sore leg
It really is starting to seem like old times for the Bulls. Short-handed, undermanned and again defiant about the lack of star power needed to win consistently. Basically, it’s 2012-13 all over again. With Derrick Rose out for the season after knee surgery and Jimmy Butler still in street clothes with turf toe, Luol Deng was held out of the game Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons with what he called a left Achilles injury. “I don’t know other than what...

Luol Deng out tonight against Pistons
Taj Gibson may start in his place. Luol Deng, the Chicago Bulls small forward who plays a key role on both ends of the floor, is out for tonight's against the Detroit Pistons with a sore calf, according to media reports. There has been no official replacement announced for him in the starting lineup, but indications are coach Tom Thibodeau might elect to go with Taj Gibson. Gibson, traditionally a power forward, would allow the Bulls to match up well against the Pistons big starting lineup that features Josh Smith at the small forward position. It would also allow the Bulls to keep...

Pistons vs. Bulls preview: Luol Deng is a 'game-time decision'
The Andre Drummond show comes to Chicago. The Bulls and the Pistons each beat the Miami Heat last week; tonight, they face each other at the United Center. The Pistons enter at 9-10 overall holding down the No. 5 seed in the East, while the Bulls have moved into the No. 7 seed in the conference at 8-9. These two teams last met a week and a half ago, with the Bulls coasting to a 20-point victory in Detroit. Luol Deng scored 27 points in that Nov. 27 win at the Palace, but his status tonight is in jeopardy. Deng is a 'game-time decision' with a sore left calf. Of course, the Bulls had to be...

Deng a game-time decision for Detroit

Thibodeau initially did not mention Deng's injury, then Joakim Noah told reporters Deng might not play because of an Achilles injury. Deng has been rolling lately. In the last five games, he averaging 27.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and shooting 53.2 percent from the field. If Deng can't play, the Bulls would presumably start Mike Dunleavy and Tony Snell at the wing spots. Jimmy Butler is still not ready to...

GM hasn't ruled out re-signing Deng
CHICAGO -- General manager Gar Forman is still hopeful the Chicago Bulls can work out an extension with Luol Deng. "We value Luol a lot," Forman said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" Tuesday on ESPN Chicago 1000. "And Luol is a big piece of the success we've had the last several years though we haven't gotten to our ultimate goal. We think Luol is going to continue to be a big piece, a big part of what we're doing. I know a lot was said about that we couldn't come to an extension last summer but if you guys really study the NBA, especially since this new CBA -- going into the CBA and since the...

No better time to deal Deng than now
Luol Deng can't play much better than he has over the past week, averaging 27.4 points, 6 rebounds and 6.2 assists a game over his last five contests. That's why there is no better time for the Bulls than the present to deal Deng as fast as they can and get back the best offer possible. As Bulls general manager Gar Forman and executive vice president John Paxson watched their team lose a 131-128 triple overtime affair to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, two things should have been clear to them.
