Article: Deng gets all-clear to play ball for Britain

IN BRIEF

Luol Deng is free to play in Great Britain's European Champion- ship qualifying campaign after the national association bumped up the insurance to cover his lucrative NBA contract.

Deng signed a new deal with the Chicago Bulls last month reportedly worth up to $80 million (44m) and British Basketball had been struggling to pay insurance for the 23-year-old. They "reluctantly" agreed to increase his coverage, meaning Deng is free to play against Israel in Tel Aviv on Wednesday and against the Czech Republic in London next Saturday.
