Luol Deng (hamstring) will not play Saturday

Luol Deng - F - Chicago Bulls

Jan. 20, 2013 - 1:25 AM ET

Luol Deng (hamstring) will not play against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

He aggravated his hamstring injury on Friday and never really had much of a chance to play. The good news is that Deng didn't get an MRI and is day-to-day, so he should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers. Jimmy Butler projects to be the spot-start of choice while Rip Hamilton and Marco Belinelli could also pick up some extra shots.
