Bulls' Pippen乸ctivated乸 month after surgery
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Scottie Pippen was activated from the injured list
Tuesday, a month after having surgery on his left knee.
Pippen was originally expected to be out six to eight weeks after doctors
discovered a torn meniscus during surgery. But he was to be in uniform
Tuesday night for the Chicago Bulls game against the Detroit Pistons.
Pippen returned in less than a month after having a similar procedure
last year.
Pippen, voted one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996,
returned to his original team when he signed a two-year, $10 million
contract over the summer. But he's been limited by knee problems and
has played in 12 games this year. He's averaging 7.1 points, 3.4 rebounds
and 2.9 assists per game.
Frustration over his latest injury led Pippen to question his future,
saying last month: "I question myself whether or not I can play another
year. Or this year." But Pippen later said he wasn't thinking about
retiring and intended to play again this year.
To make room for Pippen, the Bulls placed forward Chris Jefferies on t
he injured list with a sprained left ankle. Jefferies, acquired from
Toronto on Dec. 1, is averaging 2.5 points in 12 games this year.
