• “Luol is going to be out for awhile,” said Bulls Head Coach Del Negro on March 19. “He was feeling better every day and we thought he was getting close, but he tried to warm up against Dallas, doing some straight-ahead jogging and it really swelled up on him. It's going to be two to three weeks, hopefully two. He's got more inflammation now than he had before, so that's a setback.”

Gibson

• Probable
• Left foot

James

• Out
• Right Achilles

Noah

• Doubtful vs. Philadelphia on Saturday
• Left foot (plantar fasciitis)
• "It's a very difficult injury," Bulls Head Coach Vinny Del Negro told the media on March 3. "It's very difficult to treat. He might rest for three weeks, he might rest for two months and come back and it's still bothering him. Rest will help usually, no question. But he's got to come back, fight through the pain. We'll give him a few weeks and hopefully he reacts better to that sooner. But that's the plan right now."
