and came back Wednesday for the single session.

From the bottom of McGraw's article about Brad and his hunting show.

Bull horns: Coach Vinny Del Negro canceled the final scheduled day of double sessions and went with just one practice on Wednesday. - Luol Deng sat out Tuesday's evening practice to rest his right shin, which is recovering from a stress fracture. He participated in Wednesday's single workout.

Can't wait until the Bulls realize they need to trade this guy.

1). He can't shoot the 3
2). He is injury prone
3). He doesn't fit long term with this team (especially if we sign Wade)

Once he improves, we need to trade him quickly for a PF or long term SG/SF solution.

OK, by anyone's definition of the phrase, does 100% include sitting out practices for precautionary reasons? Is Luol 100% and everyone else who practiced actually 125%?

IBT Ding or Dung.

Dang.

Whoops...that leaves only one more vowel...

Having two a days and such, IMO sitting him out Tuesday was fine and it happens in football all the time. The key is he practiced Wednesday so that shows he is okay. They are just being smart about everything

HE'S STILL RECOVERING!?! WTF!!

Damn, I am going to adjust my fantasy predraft ranking for this pos with a 50/50 of making through 42 NBA games.

Talk is cheap. Put a fork in him.

OMGZ DENG sat out a practice!


WTF is the problem? He practiced Tuesday and then practiced Wednesday. He sat out an evening practice, big god damn deal.


This is why I shouldn't even enter Deng related threads anymore...

Is Deng 100% healthy? Some people are saying he is, but as someone else noted, talk is cheap and this organization doesn't have a recent record of complete honesty. This is an indication that he is still not 100% or at least, people inside the organization are concerned about it enough to have him rest more than other players.

Out of all the different variables going into this season, Deng's health has to be near the top of the list as far as importance and impact. Deng not being 100% is a big deal.

guys-
the problem is a stress fracture is an overuse injury, so they are being cautious so as to not overstress the area of concern.

this in itself is no big deal, but deng is still made of glass.

Ugh, get on the court Dung.

It's a "big god damn deal" because we paid this walking cripple over 70 million instead of giving the money to our leading scorer with no injury history, especially after it was already well established that Deng was an injury risk (missed a chunk of games his first year, missed another chunk of games the last year before his contract). And it has become the worst contract in the league.

Next it will be - "Oh, he sat out a preseason game? What's the big god damn deal?" "Oh, he sat out a week to recover? What's the big god damn deal?" "Oh, he sat out game 1 of the playoffs (presuming we even get there)? What's the big god damn deal?"

And so it goes.

im ignoring the sit out. but if he misses another practice, then there is cause for concern.

Shocking...

I agree. What I'm not going to do is get freaked out because he sat out the second practice of a two-a-day.

You know this isn't a Ben Gordon thread - right? Those are on the Detroit board now.
