INDIANAPOLIS – It’s only been two weeks since Bulls big man Daniel Gafford dislocated his right thumb on a deflected pass, but the way he sounded on Wednesday, it’s two weeks too long.
That’s why the center doesn’t want to hear from doctors and rehab specialists any longer, hoping to take the court again in Brooklyn on Friday, when the Bulls take on the Nets.
“Right now, based with how comfortable I am working with it, just working out, getting up shots, a feel for the ball, catching the ball, dunking the ball, things like that, I’m looking to play in Brooklyn [Friday], and if not in Brooklyn then for sure in Toronto [on Sunday],’’ Gafford told the Sun-Times.
