Bulls' forward Luol Deng will miss at least the next two weeks with with what he called "very small, not even a hairline" break in his right leg, the Associated Press is reporting.

"If I could take the pain, I'd definitely be out there," Deng said.

He tried to run Monday morning and felt more pain, prompting the decision to shut him down for a bit. He has conferred with doctors in both Chicago and Miami about the issue, and said he felt satisfied that there's now "a consensus" on how to go forward.

"Luol wants to be out there and we want him out there," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "But injuries happen and other guys have to step up and play at a high level right now."
