The 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player will continue with therapy and massage treatments while working with the team medical staff to address the spasms that have kept him out of Chicago's past two games, Bulls general manager Gar Forman told ESPN.

"There's nothing structurally wrong with his back. It's muscular," Forman said.

"We will continue with his therapy, continue to get rest, and it will be day-to-day seeing how he responds to the therapy."
