Bulls forward Luol Deng will reportedly meet with an orthopedic surgeon on Monday to determine what course of action to take with his tibial stress fracture.

Treatment for such an injury ranges from surgery now to surgery after the season, shutting it down and attempting to rehab the injury and avoid surgery, and playing through the pain in the season's final 19 games.

"What I'm worried about is playing on it and having it become a bigger fracture," Deng said. "I want to know I can't make it any worse. It hurts when I put weight on it. If I have no pain, I would play."
