The Bulls welcomed Joakim Noah back onto the court for their 20-minute intrasquad scrimmage sporting a pair of goggles to protect his injured eye, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

"The warmups felt great," he said. "Once I ran up and down the court like three times ... I mean, I'm in such bad shape right now. I really gotta get back after it because I hadn't done anything in about 10 days. It's unbelievable how fast you lose it."

"I was so out of shape I wanted to come out. Coach [Vinny Del Negro] told me to keep running."
