Luol Deng to sit against Grizzlies

Luol Deng is out tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The small forward injured his right hamstring in the third quarter of last night’s overtime win over the Boston Celtics.

"As soon as I pushed off it I just felt a pull," Deng told reporters afterwards.

Coach Tom Thibodeau wouldn’t elaborate on the severity of the injury, listing Deng’s status as “day to day.”

Jimmy Butler will start in Deng’s absence.
