Luol Deng has been told by doctors that he cannot make his wrist injury worse by playing with it.

The ligament in Deng's left (non-shooting) wrist is torn and there's nothing he can do about it now. It will remain a story throughout the year, but opting against surgery allows Deng to gut it out. He has a chance to make his return either Wednesday or Thursday.
