Otto Porter Jr. Set to Return as Zach LaVine is Doubtful to Play
After it was announced that Lauri Markkanen is close to returning, more news broke on the Bulls' injury front this morning.
Otto Porter Jr. is set to return after being out since the ninth game of the NBA season. Otto was diagnosed with a left-foot stress fracture that has kept him out pretty much all season long. The Chicago Bulls have never rebounded at the small forward position since losing Porter on November 6th of 2019. Jim Boylen did put a minutes cap on Porter for his return.
