Bulls' Thomas still sick; likely out vs. Cavaliers

Chicago Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas still is sick and is doubtful for Thursday's game against Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Tyrus is sick. He showed up this morning, he's still pretty sick," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He's at home.

"He'll see a doctor today and tomorrow and then we'll re-evaluate and see if he can fly into Cleveland, but he's pretty sick still."

Del Negro sounded doubtful Thomas can meet the team in Cleveland.

"Maybe. I don't know," he said. "Let's just see how it goes. See how he feels. He's pretty sick, though. So we just want to make sure he gets healthy."

Thomas was sent home Tuesday morning from Berto Center during the Bulls' shootaround. He was going to show up at United Center for the Bulls' game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but he never made it.
