Luol Deng celebrated by Bulls in Chicago sendoff

CHICAGO -- Derrick Rose wasn't the only visitor to receive a big reception at the United Center on Wednesday during the Chicago Bulls' 109-89 win against the Detroit Pistons. So did his former teammate, Luol Deng.

Deng was celebrated on a night when the Bulls defeated the Detroit Pistons 109-89 to snap a three-game losing skid.

In October, Deng signed a one-day deal to retire as a Bull after playing 10 of his 15 seasons in Chicago. The Bulls honored him in the second quarter Wednesday night, when Deng received a standing ovation from 18,119 fans from his seat in a mid-level suite.
