Bulls expect Markkanen to miss 4-6 weeks with hip injury
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bulls expect forward Lauri Markkanen to miss four to six weeks because of an injured right hip.
The Bulls said Friday the 7-footer from Finland had an MRI a day earlier.
Markkanen is averaging 15 points and 6.5 rebounds. He had appeared in all 46 games, though he played through a sprained left ankle the past three weeks.
The Bulls were 10th in the Eastern Conference at 17-29 entering Friday’s game against the Sacramento Kings.
