Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic is expected to miss four to six weeks after suffering fractures to his upper jaw and a concussion from a fight with teammate Bobby Portis at practice on Tuesday evening.
Portis was suspended eight games but will be able to practice with the team.
Mirotic and Portis had been trash talking in practice before things escalated into the physical altercation. Portis threw a punch that hit Mirotic in the jaw and left him on the floor for several minutes before he was able to get up. Mirotic was taken to the hospital and underwent tests.
