Luol Deng will miss time with a torn ligament in his wrist, reports Comcast SportsNet Chicago. The Chicago Bulls' small forward and defender extraordinaire injured his wrist in play over the weekend and underwent tests to gauge the damage. He won't undergo surgery to repair the injury, but according to CSN Chicago will miss at least a week of action while he recovers.

The Bulls have been the best team in the NBA this season despite a nagging toe injury plaguing reigning MVP Derrick Rose. A lot of that is owed to Deng, Chicago's best individual defender and one of the top wing stoppers in the league. Deng also carries a heavy offensive load that his replacements -- Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer and heavier doses of starting two-guard Rip Hamilton -- will struggle to handle.
Deng has traditionally played huge minutes under coach Tom Thibodeau, which could cause additional strain for the Bulls.
