Deng (illness) was a full participant in Friday's morning shootaround.

Analysis:

Deng missed Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to an illness but apparently is well enough to get back on the court. The fact that he participated in shootaround is a good sign for his status against the Pacers on Friday night, although official word won't likely come until closer to tipoff.
