Luol Deng still targeting a Sunday return
Luol Deng - F - Chicago Bulls
Jan. 27, 2012 - 10:55 AM ET

Luol Deng (wrist) did some shooting and dribbling and remains on track to play Sunday against the Heat.

It's not a guarantee but that has been Deng's target. Ronnie Brewer will continue to start in Deng's place while he's sidelined, but it sounds like Deng is very serious about returning as soon as he possibly can. Owners of Deng should have him on the bench for the time being, but be ready to activate him if and when he does return to the lineup. He's averaging 15.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals this season.
