Joakim Noah is working out a little bit and hopes to have the cast removed from his right hand next week.

Noah has begun running on a treadmill and lifting with his lower body.

He remains on track to return to the Bulls in late February or early March.

"I've been working out for awhile now," Noah said. "But don't tell anybody. I want them to think I'm just chilling on vacation.

"I can do some running. I can't crossover but I can work on my in-and-out (dribbling) with my left hand. When it matters, I'll be ready."
