The Bulls’ Joakim Noah has been sidelined for a while now with a foot injury. That means, they’ve been without their best perimeter player (Rose) and best frontcourt player when it matters most. Noah was supposed to be nearing a return, but has suffered a setback.

“I’m doing everything — massage, sleep in a splint, ice,’’ Noah said when asked about dealing with plantar fasciitis pain in his right foot. “If you got any remedies you want to give me, I’ll probably do it.’’

“Yeah, it’s a tough one,’’ Thibodeau said of the plantar fasciitis injury. “You never really know with that type of injury.
