Bulls center Cristiano Felicio suffered a broken right wrist on Monday during practice and, according to head coach Jim Boylen, will miss approximately four-to-eight weeks.
“We had the X-ray. It did not show up on the X-ray. Then we had the CT scan and it showed up on the CT scan,” Boylen said via K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago. “We’re going to do an MRI (Wednesday) just to let them give us a little more certainty on maybe how much separation there is in there and how much time it will be.”
The big man signed a four-year, $32MM contract with Chicago during the 2017 offseason and hasn’t lived up to the expectations of the deal. Felicio hasn’t seen any minutes this season for the Bulls and has been used sparingly over the last two campaigns.
He’s been MIA his entire career.
Well hell, there goes the season
People have always wondered about that contract offer. If he played more he’d hear abou it!
an embarrassment
LaVine is a borderline starter in the NBA, and certainly not a lead guy.
Lauri plays no defense. LaVine too.
Boylen is one of the worst coaches in the NBA.
Felicio is just one of several bad deals in recent years.
I keep hearing about the Bulls being one of the great young teams in the NBA, but I’d much rather have the Hawks, Pelicans, etc.
Sure, Carter and White look like they could turn into something, but who knows with this front office and head coach? I have no faith in them being able to put together a legitimate contender anytime soon.
White was a head-down charger like Sexton is… he should come on like Sexton has lately. It’s a good thing the Cavs did not take Cobi White too! Garland is a better complEment, once he learns the pro game.
Everyone in the Bulls organization needs to be fired. Even the parking lot attendants. Clean house, then focus on assembling a highly knowledgeable and respected front office, two qualities they’ve sorely lacked for decades. Then the NBA needs to take over and find new ownership, while the Reinsdorf’s divest themselves.
One can dream, right?
You are pretty cavalier about firing “everyone.” These people have wives, children, homes, taxes and bills to pay, just like the rest of us. To fire all of them because they didn’t live up to your expectations is ridiculous. Do you go online to agitate for the firing of a waitress who gets your order wrong, the parking attendant who is too slow in retrieving your car, the general manager whose rebuilt baseball team doesn’t really succeed, the football coach whose team loses the Super Bowl? People need their jobs, and it’s up to those who pay them to decide when and in what circumstances, if any, they ought to be fired. I expect you’re really good at spending other people’s money, too.
Dude, it’s called a joke. I was kidding about the parking attendants.
They do need clean house in that front office.
