Bulls' forward Luol Deng missed his second straight game on Friday night with a sore left hamstring.

Deng wanted to play but didn't feel right during pregame warmups.

"It feels fine when I'm running up and down," Deng said. "It's when I change direction or try to drive to the basket or play defense. When I push off with that foot, pain's still there. It's one of those things where I could play, but I don't know how it would feel throughout the game. I could end up being out longer. We're trying to be smart about it."
