Yet another unfortunate string of injuries in the frontcourt for the Chicago Bulls started earlier this month in a road loss to the Dallas Mavericks with center Wendell Carter Jr. A sprained ankle will hold Carter Jr. likely for at least another month. This is the second straight season where WCJ injured himself and could miss more than two months of game action.
The original diagnosis for WCJ was missing four or six weeks, but he could reportedly miss more than another month in recovering from his ankle sprain.
At least WCJ still seems confident that he could make a return back to full health well before the end of the 2019-20 regular season.
