C Nazr Mohammed traveled with the Thunder to Milwaukee after signing a free-agent deal with the team on Saturday. Mohammed, who played previously for Oklahoma City in their 2011-12 NBA Finals season, has spent the last three years with the Bulls but had not appeared in a game this season.

Mohammed played in 23 games for the Bulls this season and averaged 1.2 points and 1.7 rebounds a game.
Mohammed only averaged six minutes a game when he did play as he was buried on the end of the Bulls bench. If the Bulls bring him back or he plays anywhere else next season, don't expect him to get on the court much.

Mohammed has not played in either of the Bulls first two playoff games against the Bucks.
Mohammed might find his way onto the court with Nikola Mirotic (quad/knee) expected to miss at least Game 3, but he will only play limited minutes if he does play.

Mohammed was held scoreless (0-1 FG), but grabbed two rebounds and blocked one shot in six minutes Saturday against the Knicks.
The Bulls big men are finally getting healthy, meaning Mohammed will return to his role of playing limited minutes off of the bench if he even gets into a game.

Mohammed scored eight points (4-4 FG) to go along with two rebounds, one assist and one steal in seven minutes Sunday against the Spurs.
Not only was this a rare appearance for Mohammed, but this was the most points he has scored in a game this season. He's not playing much even with all of the Bulls injuries and his biggest value at this time is that he is a veteran leader on the team.

Mohammed scored two points (1-3 FG) to go along with four rebounds and one steal in 10 minutes Friday against the Timberwolves.
Mohammed was forced into action Friday with Paul Gasol (illness) out and Taj Gibson (ankle) leaving the game after playing only nine minutes. Gasol could be back for Sunday's game against the Clippers, so expect Mohammed to return to his very limited role when he does.
Sun Jan 18 201512:39Mohammed did not play again Saturday against Hawks
Mohammed did not play again Saturday against the Hawks.
Mohammed has only played eight games this season and his value to the Bulls at this point in his career is that of a veteran voice in the locker room.
Sat Nov 22 201421:19Mohammed scored one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT) to go along with six ...
Mohammed scored one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes Friday against Portland.
Mohammed played in only his second game of the season Friday as the Bulls were without Pau Gasol (calf) and then lost Taj Gibson (ankle) in this game. If both players are out again Monday, Mohammed could see increased playing time again. Even if he does though, don't expect him to provide much fantasy value.
Wed Nov 5 201423:03Mohammed has yet to play in regular season for Bulls
Mohammed has yet to play in the regular season for the Bulls.
Mohammed's value to the Bulls at this stage of his career is a veteran presence in the locker room. Don't expect him to see much playing time.
Mon Sep 22 201415:24Mohammed re-signed with Bulls on Monday
Mohammed re-signed with the Bulls on Monday.
Mohammed, who contemplated retirement this summer, will return for his 17th NBA season and third with the Bulls. He appeared in 80 games last season, seeing nearly all of his minutes in garbage time. Despite losing Carlos Boozer, the Bulls gained frontcourt depth overall this offseason, so Mohammed should slot into a similar role as a veteran defender and positive locker room presence.
Mon Jan 13 201420:51Nazr Mohammed hurts hand
Nazr Mohammed suffered a sprained middle finger on Monday and is questionable to return.
He was in a little bit of pain and we'll be on the lookout for any information. Mohammed has very little fantasy value.

Tue Jul 2 201311:33Bulls, Nazr Mohammed agree to one-year deal
The Bulls and Nazr Mohammed have verbally agreed to a one-year contract at the veteran's minimum, according to CSN's Aggrey Sam.
The deal doesn't exactly shake up the FA market, but it's a solidifying move for the Bulls' frontcourt. Nazr even wound up starting 12 games for Chicago last season while Joakim Noah was hurt, averaging 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. He isn't likely to approach those numbers in a 10-15 minute role this season.

Fri May 17 201309:08Thibodeau would welcome Mohammed back
Tom Thibodeau said he'd like to have Nazr Mohammed return next season.
"Hopefully we'll have an opportunity with him, but again, you don't know what the market will call for," Thibodeau said. It would be surprising if Mohammed got an offer above the veteran's minimum, so if the Bulls want him back, it shouldn't be hard to work out a new deal.

Sat May 11 201309:22Nazr Mohammed doesn't expect more punishment
Nazr Mohammed said he isn't expecting further punishment from the league office after being ejected Friday night.
Mohammed was tossed after shoving LeBron James to a ground, a move that drew heated reactions from Mohammed's teammates. Nate Robinson called LeBron a good actor and coach Tom Thibodeau hinted there's a conspiracy to give the Heat favorable calls in the series. Regardless of whether LeBron flopped, there were no punches thrown and it was a fairly brief incident, so we're not expecting Mohammed to face further sanctions either.

Fri May 10 201320:55Nazr Mohammed ejected from Game 3
Nazr Mohammed was ejected from Friday's game for shoving LeBron James after the whistle.
Mohammed committed a hard foul on James, then after LeBron took him down and received a technical foul, Mohammed shoved LeBron to the ground. Mohammed played just 11.5 minutes per game in the first two games of the series, so this isn't a big loss for the Bulls.

Wed Apr 17 201319:56Nazr Mohammed starting, Belinelli off bench
Nazr Mohammed will start for the Bulls on Wednesday and Marco Belinelli will come off the bench.
It's a late move, but moving Nazr into the starting lineup makes some sense since the Bulls are going to play their starters limited minutes. They will start Kirk Hinrich, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer along side Mohammed.

Fri Apr 12 201322:30Nazr Mohammed double-doubles vs. TOR
Nazr Mohammed double-doubled vs. the Raptors on Friday with 16 points and 13 boards, adding one steal and one block in 43 minutes.
He didn't play a minute on Thursday, so it was a mild surprise to see him log this many tonight. Taj Gibson is expected to be back in the next two games, so owners shouldn't think about grabbing Nazr unless they're in desperation mode.

Wed Apr 10 201300:20Nazr Mohammed goes for 6 & 10 in start
Nazr Mohammed started in place of injured Joakim Noah (foot) and had six points, 10 rebounds and a block in Tuesday's loss.
Noah's regular season might be over and Mohammed could be a decent pickup if you need boards and blocks. He had 11 boards and three blocks on Saturday, and could help owners in need of big-man stats, especially if Noah continues to sit.

Thu Apr 4 201322:38Nazr Mohammed blocks three shots
Nazr Mohammed played 37 minutes against the Nets on Thursday, blocking three shots to go with four points, nine rebounds and one assist.
The Bulls are the thinnest team up front in the NBA with Taj Gibson (knee) and Joakim Noah (foot) both dealing with injuries. Mohammed played 36 minutes on Tuesday and coach Tom Thibodeau has no choice but to play him extended minutes. He's a capable shot blocker and could be a short-term fix for owners that need a big man.

Tue Apr 2 201322:08Nazr Mohammed double-double for injured CHI
Naz Mohammed had season highs with 12 points, 12 boards and 36 minutes during Tuesday's 90-86 loss to the Wizards, adding one block on 5-of-12 shooting.
The excessive minutes were out of pure necessity and the Bulls could be without Taj Gibson for a handful of games. The 35-year-old Mohammed isn't likely going to be able to sustain a 36-minute workload and the Bulls may sign someone on a 10-day contract to help him, but he looks like a decent option for deep leagues right now. The Bulls play Thursday on a three-game night.
