CHICAGO -- Chicago Bulls swingman David Nwaba is expected to miss 2-4 weeks because of a right ankle injury. Nwaba, who turned the ankle in the third quarter of Saturday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, is now in a walking boot as he begins the rehab process.

"He's going to be probably two to four weeks," Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg said. "He's got a severe ankle sprain. He's off the crutches now, he's in a walking boot but he sprained it pretty good."

Paul Zipser is expected to start in Nwaba's place in Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
