CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls tried to pick up the pieces of their season on Sunday afternoon after learning on Saturday that Joakim Noah would likely be out for the rest of the season after an MRI revealed he needed surgery to fix a left shoulder dislocation suffered during Friday night's loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
"It's tough," Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg said. "Jo, he's such a passionate kid. A big time leader of this team. He has so much energy -- even when he wasn't playing he was always keeping guys' spirits up being around here and I know he'll continue to do that.
