I mentioned this in tonight's game thread but this report makes it sound quite a bit worse and floats the possibility of 2 months of missed time.
QUOTE Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah is expected to play Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors despite ongoing issues with his right hand.
The Bulls are concerned there may be ligament damage in his right thumb, according to sources familiar with the situation. Bulls general manager Gar Forman told ESPNChicago.com before Wednesday morning's shootaround that the Bulls are still evaluating the situation and Noah will be re-examined once he returns to Chicago on Thursday. If an examination reveals the need for surgery, he would most likely be out a minimum of eight weeks. When asked Wednesday about his thumb, Noah responded: "We're still evaluating to see what's wrong with it." When asked specifically if there was any structural damage, Noah said: "I'm not sure yet. We'll find out [Wednesday night]." |

We still get to watch the Bulls play the next two months.
That's a good thing. |

Noah is supposed to have a pin removed from his hand and officially begin rehab tomorrow.

QUOTE As expected, Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah will return to action in Toronto on Wednesday after missing 30 games with thumb surgery, coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed Monday in a wide-ranging interview with ESPN Chicago.
"He's coming back," he said in the telephone interview. "He was cleared to go last week." Back for Toronto? "Oh yeah," he said. |
