The Bulls have been the brunt of a couple bad breaks, of late — well, sprains and dislocations to be more specific. Against the Wizards Wednesday night, Daniel Gafford (dislocated right thumb) and Chandler Hutchison (shoulder) became the latest afflicted.
Gafford, we already know, will be sidelined two-to-four weeks. Hutchison's fate is a tad murkier, but he participated in the team's getaway shootaround session Thursday afternoon before jetting to Philadelphia. The second-year forward fell hard on his right shoulder — the same shoulder that caused him to miss 17 games between November and January — following a dunk attempt against Washington and exited immediately.
