Bulls and Arturas Karnisovas finalizing deal for executive spot

April 9, 2020April 9, 2020 Brandon King

The 1990’s were a long time ago but outside of the pre-injury Derrick Rose days, there hasn’t been much for Chicago Bulls fans to hang their collective hats on. The seventeen years that the John Paxson and Gar Forman braintrust has run the Bulls has been one wrought with frustration for this once proud fan base. Clamors for change in the Chicago front office became as loud as a train horn over the course of this season. The greatest hits of the “GarPax” leadership over the past few years include…

Lauri Markkanen back against Timberwolves

March 4, 2020March 4, 2020 Brandon King

The Chicago Bulls announces that Lauri Markkanen will play Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Markkanen has been out a month with a pelvic stress reaction. No word if Markkanen will be on any sorts of minutes restriction but with Bulls head coach Jim Boylan’s mystifying rotations, that may not prove to be a factor. It has been largely a disappointing season for the Bulls, but particularly Markkanen. He was expected to make a major leap from his second season, but he got off to a slow start this season…

Bulls rook Daniel Gafford out two to four weeks

January 16, 2020January 16, 2020 Brandon King

Chicago Bulls rookie center Daniel Gafford will be out for two to four weeks with a dislocated right thumb, per The Athletic and Stadium’s Shams Charania. Since he finally started getting some run, the Arkansas product has been a pleasant surprise. His high energy and effort has made it impossible for even Bulls head coach Jim Boylen not to find minutes for Gafford. Already without Wendell Carter Jr, Gafford’s injury means that we will see even more of Thaddeus Young, who has appeared uncomfortable in the Bulls offensive system, and…

Porter was diagnosed with a left foot sprain and will not play in the Bulls game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday. Bulls head coach Jim Boylen had this to say according to Woodyard: “It’s a soft tissue injury so it’s something that’s difficult to put a timetable on. That’s about as easy as I could say. We’re not exactly sure.“I don’t want to give you a definite timetable because it…

Chandler Hutchison suffers hamstring injury

September 5, 2019September 5, 2019 Brandon King

Bulls wing Chandler Hutchison suffered a hamstring injury yesterday during a workout. The Bulls announced the injury earlier today. If Bulls fans are letting out collective groans it is because last season the injury bug kicked the team in the junk before the season began with several key players (Lauri Markkanen, elbow; Kris Dunn, MCL; Bobby Portis MCL) missing substantial time and Denzel Valentine was out for the entire season with an ankle injury (that had nothing to do with what Frank Nitty did to him in the Drew League.…
