David Nwaba Sidelined 2-4 Weeks

Depending on what your opinions are regarding how the Bulls should handle this season, there's both good and/or bad news out of the Bulls camp today. 1.) Bobby Portis returns today after serving the suspension he earned from molly-whopping Nikola Mirotic in the face. And... 2.) K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune is reporting David Nwaba will be sidelined two to four weeks due to a "severe" ankle sprain suffered in an OT loss to the Pelicans Saturday night. Unfortunate news for Nwaba, considering he had been playing quite well (albeit in a small sample size of 3 starts up until his injury) since being inserted into the starting lineup. Good news is (or bad if you're rooting for the Bulls to tank) Nwaba isn't on crutches and should return on schedule.

"He’s off the crutches now and in a walking boot," Hoiberg said. "He sprained it pretty good."

Paul Zipser will take Nwaba's place in the starting lineup with Denzel Valentine serving as backup until Nwaba returns.
