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.
Erik Spoelstra on calling timeout without one: 'There's no excuse for that, I'm 17 years in'
Barry Jackson: Spoelstra kicking himself: “I made a serious mental error. That’s on me. I feel horrible about it. There’s no excuse for that. I’m 17 years in. I knew in the huddle we didn’t have [a timeout]. I got emotional in the huddle. I made a horrendous mistake.”
Anthony Chiang: Brutal finish for Heat. Tyler Herro finishes with 40 points, but Erik Spoelstra calls timeout that the Heat didn’t have. That resulted in a technical that led to the Pistons’ game-winning points. Pistons defeat Heat 123-121 in OT. Heat falls to 4-6 overall and 1-3 on trip.
Derek Bodner: Final: Knicks win 111-99 as the Sixers drop to 2-8 on the season, with the tail end of a back-to-back tomorrow night against the 12-0 Cavs. George (29 on 10-19) and McCain (23 on 7-16) were the stars in this one. Embiid (13) was noticeably rusty in his first game of the season.
Eric Nehm: Doc Rivers: One of the things we’ve been harping on’s getting to the paint and creating more 3s. Well, we shot 56 of them tonight and 50 of them were great shots. We just didn’t shoot them well. But, man. if we play like that every night and get those shots, we’re gonna be fine.
Chris Haynes: Sources: Detroit Pistons guard Tim Hardaway Jr. underwent a CAT scan and results were negative. He will be getting stitched up after taking elbow to face and then slamming back of his head against the hardwood. He was wheeled off court. Great news considering how scary it looked.
Eric Nehm: Per Bucks PR, Ryan Rollins is out for the rest of tonight’s game because of left shoulder instability.
