Deng hurts ankle in loss to Rockets

Share

The Bulls will look to turn things around Wednesday at Indiana, after two straight blowout losses, but they could possibly be without Luol Deng, who twisted his right ankle in the first quarter of their 120-97 loss against the Houston Rockets.

Deng stayed in the game and scored 14 points in 35 minutes of play, but was bothered by the ankle afterwards as he limped out of the locker room after addressing reporters.

Well see how it feels tomorrow, Deng said, when asked about his limping.

He was recently given Monday off after suffering a sprained left shoulder in last Fridays win in New York, which he said affected his aggressiveness in the Bulls' loss to Atlanta on Saturday.

He didnt appear bothered by the shoulder against Houston, but hopefully the ankle injury isnt something that lingers for the league leader in minutes.
