CHICAGO -- Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng is expected to miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his right wrist, ending his solid rookie campaign.
The Bulls' regular season ends April 20, but they have won nine straight games and are on their way to making the playoffs for the first time since Michael Jordan's last season with Chicago in 1998. General manager John Paxson didn't address Monday whether Deng could be back for the postseason.
Deng, a starter who averages 11.7 points and 5.3 rebounds, likely will undergo surgery after an MRI Sunday night revealed a torn ligament in his wrist. The injury occurred during the Bulls' 94-86 win over Memphis on March 28.
He played in wins at Charlotte and against Cleveland, but sat out Saturday's game against the Bobcats because of the injury. The Bulls' last regular-season game is April 20.
"That's a huge blow to us," Paxson said. "We were so lucky early on with no injuries and now we have a bunch."
