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. May 17 - 9:08 AM

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

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.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

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.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

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.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

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.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

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.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

Nazr Mohammed blocked three shots with 11 rebounds in Friday's win over the Magic.

Mohammed has been rebounding and blocking shots while Joakim Noah has been out, so give him a look if you're deficient in those areas.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

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.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

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.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

Nazr Mohammed made a rare start with Joakim Noah (foot) out on Saturday, scoring 11 points with seven rebounds, three assists and one block vs. the Pacers.

Indiana made a conscious effort to feed Roy Hibbert on the post, but the Bulls' veteran center held up defensively and Hibbert finished with 18 points on 8-of-18 shooting. Noah may need a few more games off, given the chronic nature of his injury and the Bulls' need to have him healthy for the playoffs, but Mohammed's game is too limited to expect reliable value in average leagues.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

Nazr Mohammed had 13 points, 12 rebounds and a block off the bench in Tuesday's preseason win over Memphis.

Don't get too excited, as Mohammed has never been consistent enough to be owned in most leagues. But if Joakim Noah suffers another injury this season, Mohammed would be the main benefactor from an extended absence.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

Bulls sign C Nazr Mohammed.

Mohammed will serve as Joakim Noah's new backup. The veteran big man averaged 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11 minutes per game with the Thunder last season and will not be on the fantasy radar.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

The Bulls are reportedly "putting the finishing touches" on a deal with free agent center Nazr Mohammed.

Mohammed is expected to earn the veteran's minimum, and his presence telegraphs the Bulls' intention not to match the Rockets' offer sheet for Omer Asik. Nazr is not a fantasy asset -- he scored double-digit points twice last season, and never grabbed double-digit rebounds.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

Nazr Mohammed has reportedly agreed to sign with the Bulls.

Peter Vecsey reported that Mohammed "agreed" to sign, and mutual interest has been confirmed by Bulls sources, so it seems Nazr is headed to Chicago to provide some veteran support behind Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson. His probable signing makes it even more likely that Chicago will not match the Rockets' back-loaded three-year, $25.1 million offer for Omer Asik.

Nazr Mohammed - C - Bulls

The Nets are on the verge of signing unrestricted free agent C Nazr Mohammed.

Mohammed tweeted that he was on the way to Newark on Friday and has been close to signing with the Nets for a few days now. It's expected that the deal will be for the league minimum. Mohammed will backup Brook Lopez at center for Brooklyn and won't hold any fantasy value this season.
