Game 7 Injury Update: Deng and Rose out for Bulls, while Hinrich is game-time decision
Luol Deng is out, yet again, for the Bulls in Game 7

Just recapping the injury woes the Chicago Bulls are facing in tonight's pivotal Game 7 matchup with the Nets at the Barclays Center:

Contrary to recent speculation, Derrick Rose will not make his season debut this evening in Brooklyn. He has already been cleared by doctors to return from his ACL surgery, but still doesn't feel ready to get back on the court.

Luol Deng, still recovering from a viral infection and spinal tap procedure that caused him to miss Game 6, is out tonight and didn't make the trip to New York, staying in a Chicago hospital.

Also, Kirk Hinrich, who missed Games 5 and 6 with a calf injury, is a game-time decision. If he can't play, Nate Robinson will start for him again.
