[He] tried to move around this morning, didnt do a lot in shootaround. Then we made the final decision when we got back to the hotel. Obviously, [its] a long season and didnt want to take any chances on it. Hes day-to-day.Second-year point guard Jerian Grant will start in Rondos place.Bulls small forward Doug McDermott remains in the leagues concussion protocol and did not travel with the team to Portland. It remains unclear when McDermott will return. This is the second time in two weeks McDermott has been in the leagues concussion protocol. He took a couple of hard shots in an Oct. 31 win at Brooklyn and missed a Nov. 2 loss at Boston.I texted with Doug a little bit today, Hoiberg said. He said its just a hard feeling to describe and I said I hear ya, I can relate. But its just something where hopefully he makes a little bit of progress. Hell continue to see the doctor on a daily basis and hopefully he continues to improve.

Great Britain Davis Cup captain Leon Smith believes Andy Murray is in the form of his life as the Scot gets set for a quarterfinal clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at Wimbledon.The world No.2 has yet to drop a set at the tournament and is fully justifying the tag of title favourite he adopted following Novak Djokovics shock loss to Sam Querrey.Murray had been expected to face a test from Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round but brushed him aside.Smith said: I think hes playing his best tennis of his life. Hes continued to improve so many areas of his game. Even from when he won here and the U.S. Open, you look at his game and his second serve in particular is so much improved.His net play, his confidence going forwards -- you just look at the stats from this week and hes come forward with a lot of success. And the aggression of his game. Hes playing closer to the baseline, dictating a lot of the points.His clay-court run was amazing so hes playing really, really well. Thats the thing with him, and the other top guys as well. Theyre just striving to get better and better, and hes certainly done that.On Tuesday, Smith named Murray in his team for next weeks Davis Cup quarterfinal against Serbia in Belgrade.Murray has consistently said he will play as long as he feels fit and healthy, and Smith is hopeful that will be the case.He certainly has not been overly taxed physically or mentally so far, maintaining an impressive level of focus throughout his matches.Coach Ivan Lendl can probably take a lot of credit for that. It was noticeable how much Murrays on-court behaviour improved during their first spell working together, and it appears to be the same again.ddddddddddddSmith said: Andy would have known what he was looking for in his coaching team and theres no way hed have approached Ivan if he didnt feel there was something to gain from it, and it looks already [like thats the case].[Facing Kyrgios], people talked about the stress of that one, but he was so focused from start to finish. We didnt see him expend any energy on anything else apart from the tennis ball and the points.I thought he looked really in control of everything and theres no doubt that Ivan will have added to this, and thats why hes here. Obviously it was the best stage of his career when he was with Ivan last time and lets hope it can repeat itself.He obviously feels Ivan has that aura around him that enables him to stay focused. Im not privy to the conversations they have in private and Im sure those are of as much value as when Ivans watching the match.Murray has an excellent record against 12th seed Tsonga having beaten him 12 times from 14 meetings.Two of those matches came at Wimbledon, with Murray defeating the Frenchman in the quarterfinals in 2010 and the semifinals two years later.Both matches were hard, said Murray. A few of the sets came down to just a couple of points.I know Tsonga is one of the best grass-court players in the world. If he plays well, and Im not on my game, I can lose that match for sure.Murrays quarterfinal showdown with Tsonga begins this afternoon on Centre Court. ' ' '
