Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas practiced with his teammates on Thursday for the first time since breaking his left forearm on Nov. 5.

"Just practicing a little bit, no contact yet," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He'll still just trying to get in condition all week, and then hopefully his contact will start next week."

Chicago still doesn't have a probable return date for the fourth-year forward.

"I don't know yet. I just got to see what the doctors and trainers say," Del Negro added. "It's kind of a daily update. He's been doing well and he's been doing some of our shooting drills and our non-contact stuff."

Thomas was averaging 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds prior to the injury.
