WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- The Chicago Bulls said on Wednesday that their guard Kris Dunn will miss the next four to six weeks with a sprain in his left knee.
Dunn suffered the injury in the second quarter of their 115-109 road loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Dunn started the game for Chicago, playing 30 minutes while logging nine points, four rebounds and seven assists.
Injury woes have been an issue for the Chicago Bulls, who have been playing this season without star second-year forward Lauri Markkanen with an elbow injury and fellow second-year player Denzel Valentine due to a bone bruise in his left ankle.
Coach Fred Hoiberg said: "When you missed a guy who really made strides over the course of last season and the summer he had and the way he played during training camp, it's difficult."
"Nobody is going to feel sorry for us. It's next man up, ready to go. It gives guys great opportunity to show what they can do," he added.
