After being listed as questionable for Saturday's clash with the NBA-best Golden State Warriors, a trio of banged-up Chicago Bulls took part in morning shootaround.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau is hopeful that all three of center Joakim Noah, power forward Taj Gibson, and small forward Doug McDermott will be able to suit up Saturday, according to ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell

Gibson has missed the last six games with a sprained left ankle, Noah - who missed time earlier this season with a lingering knee issue - rolled his right ankle in Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, and McDermott has missed the last two games with an unspecified knee injury. 

Friedell also reports that Noah, who only participated in part of the shootaround, wants to get more treatment on his ankle before deciding whether to play.
