Devin Brown will face his old team tonight when the Bulls visit the New Orleans Hornets, but Brown probably will have to wait to get revenge on his former team.

Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro wants to avoid using Brown again because the Bulls haven't had the chance to hold a legitimate practice since the veteran guard was acquired on Monday.

"If I have to, I'll use him," Del Negro said. "But we'll stay with the rotation right now. We haven't had a chance to really practice with our schedule. After tonight's game, we get home for a couple of days and we can get some practice under our belts.

"Obviously, he's familiar with this team. If there's some foul trouble and I need to use him, I will. Otherwise I'll go with how we've been going."
