“All that stuff is behind him,” Casey insisted. “He’s got a clean slate. The financial part of it is not involved right now. It’s an incentive for him now to play to get that next contract or whatever. But again, playing basketball, just forget everything else, clean slate, start from scratch and go from there.”

Luol Deng almost sued Bulls for misdiagnosed injury

During an appearance on Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles’ “Knuckleheads Podcast” on Tuesday, Deng opened up on the situation: “I ended up missing the playoffs,” Deng said. “And what happened was that year there was a dispute going on with the NBPA and so on about me suing the Bulls because of what took place. “But I knew that if I sued the Bulls, I would either not play basketball ever again in order to win the case, to prove that things didn’t go well and this could be career-ending but wanted to hoop so I said, ‘Yo, I’m not suing anyone. I’m just going to hoop. I’m just going to come back.'”
At the time, what started as a headache progressed to flu-like symptoms, which the Bulls medical staff feared could be viral meningitis. They sent Deng to the hospital, where a spinal tap was performed despite other team members dealing with the same symptoms. Not only did Deng not have viral meningitis, but he wound up dealing with complications from the procedure as spinal fluid leaked into his body. He then struggled to walk and lost a considerable amount of weight.
