Jan. 28--In an Instagram post, Joakim Noah got his stitches out and wished his Bulls teammates luck in their matchup with the Lakers Thursday night.
Noah also thanked "everybody for their love and support" after undergoing surgery Jan. 19 to repair a dislocated shoulder.
While Noah's season is likely over, he said earlier this week that he hopes to stay with the Bulls, despite being an unrestricted free agent after this season.
"Right now, I'm not trying to focus on the future," he said. "Right now it's all about taking a step back and focusing on getting healthy. Then we'll go from there."
Nikola Mirotic is also on the mend after undergoing an appendectomy Wednesday. He's expected to return after the All-Star break in mid-Feburary.
"Hope I will have fast recovery and be ready for next challenges," he tweeted. "Miss my team and feel bad that I can't be there tonight! Go Bulls!"
