NBA: Bulls shock! Markkanen is out for a long time
Shortly before the start of their preseason, the Chicago Bulls had to cope with a violent shock. Power Forward Lauri Markkanen has injured himself and will be absent for a long time.
Markkanen injured her elbow during training on Thursday. As the franchise announced on Friday, an MRI showed that there was a severe sprain. Markkanen will have to pause for six to eight weeks and miss at least the first month of the Regular Season.
The Finn had convinced last season as a rookie with an average of 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds. The No.7-Pick was also chosen for the All-Rookie First Team.
At the Bulls, he was to work alongside Zach LaVine, Jabari Parker and this year’s No.7-Pick Wendell Carter to make the season more successful than last year, when Chicago won only 27 games. Now coach Fred Hoiberg has to get by without markkans.
