Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. will miss at least the next four weeks after an MRI confirmed a severe right quad contusion, the team announced Tuesday.
Carter Jr., who was injured during a Jan. 20 practice session and has missed the past three games, will continue the rehabilitation process before receiving another re-evaluation.
Bulls coach Billy Donovan on Tuesday said Carter is "feeling better" but won't be able to do much conditioning or anything until he's fully healed. The injury occurred when Carter took a knee to the lower thigh when colliding with teammate Denzel Valentine during 5-on-5 drills.
