Bulls forward Carlos Boozer will have the cast removed from his right hand next week and will begin rehabilitating soon after.
Boozer broke his right pinkie on Oct. 2 after falling over a bag in his house.
"I get the cast off next Tuesday," Boozer said.
"And then they have to take the pins out. They'll put like a soft cast on for a few days, and then I'll start my rehab and I'll be back out there."
Boozer signed a five-year deal with the Bulls this summer.
