Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah has yet to resume running, but is "doing well" in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau.

"As you guys know, this is Joakim's time to travel the world so he's everywhere right now," Thibodeau said Thursday, via ESPN.com. "He's doing well, though.

"He's done a good job with his rehab. He comes in, we see him about once a week. But he's everywhere and he's done a good job so we think he's in a really good place. Right now he's lifting and he's doing some shooting, but he can't run yet. Just some conditioning in the pool. All the things he normally does this time of the year. But he's doing real well." 

Noah, the league's reigning Defensive Player of the Year, underwent surgery on May 2 and is expected to miss eight to 12 weeks.
