With Eddie Robinson a possibility to join both Ron Artest and Jamal Crawford in the injury list after surgery if his injury comes to that, the Bulls finally received some good news.  Guard Jamal Crawford, who was in sensational form during the offseason in Michael Jordan's pickup games according to reports, is seeking a medical clearance to run, with a late-February or early March return is possible.  He will travel to Alabama later this week to have his rehabilitation progress monitored by Dr. James Andrews, who reconstructed the anterior cruciate ligament in Crawford's left knee.

Ron Artest is progressing well and is around three weeks from returning, while Ron Mercer is expected to be back against the Bucks tonight after missing the Warriors game and practice with a head cold.
