CHICAGO (AP) Joakim Noah says he expects to make a full recovery from shoulder surgery. Beyond that, the Bulls' veteran center is not sure what the future holds.

Noah attended practice Tuesday after returning to Chicago on Monday night following surgery in New York last week to repair a dislocated left shoulder.

He says doctors believe there is a ''very good chance'' he'll make a full recovery. Whether he suits up again for the Bulls is another issue. He is in the final year of a five-year, $60 million contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Noah says he hopes he does return but is ''not trying to focus on the future.''
