"Richard Hamilton sat. Taj Gibson returned. And Luol Deng continued to progress.

You seemingly can't have a Bulls game these days without an injury report.

Hamilton missed his 11th game after suffering a previously undisclosed right thigh bruise during Wednesday's loss to the Pacers. The sore groin that sidelined him for the other 10 also flared a bit, though that isn't considered serious.

As for Gibson, he returned from a 31/2-game absence after spraining his left ankle Jan. 20 in Cleveland. He finished with two points and four rebounds in 15 minutes in Friday night's 107-100 victory over the Bucks.

Deng is dribbling and shooting but hasn't taken contact on his left wrist, which has a torn ligament. Deng has told teammates he hopes to play against the Heat on Sunday in Miami. But in an interview with broadcaster Chuck Swirsky on the team's website he said he's both "day-to-day" and "a week away, maybe more.""
