The Bulls are currently without the services of Loul Deng, Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah leading Chicago to an eight-game losing streak got more bad news as Deng expected back Saturday, suffered a setback to keep him out even longer.

Luol Deng experienced more soreness in his strained right calf Wednesday after running both Tuesday and pregame Wednesday. Deng, who will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday, was noticeably limping in the Bulls’ locker room.

“I’m still having trouble pushing off on it,” Deng said.

Of course, this is wonderful news for the Toronto Raptors who decided to try winning for a change last nigh, to stay ahead of the wounded Bulls. The race to lose to Cleveland in the first round is gonna be close.
