In a period where the matches are linked, the organizations begin to feel fatigue and many players are affected by injuries. Javonte Green and Otto Porter Jr. have paid the price, we take stock.
Javonte Green hit in the right knee
Blow for the Bulls: Javonte Green will be out for another month, according to Adrian WojnarowskiESPN. Absent since January 2 due to a right knee injury, the rear will be re-evaluated by his franchise within two weeks and joins Lonzo Ball on the benches of the infirmary. It falls (very) badly for Chicago which loses one of its best outside defenders and an important player in its rotation. Green is averaging 5.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1 assist this season, with a very solid 38.2 percent parking pass. With a consistently positive impact on both sides of the pitch, the undrafted player has become indispensable for the Bulls. the guard put out some solid performances this season, including a 17-pawn (and 3/3 long-range) game once morest the Hornets on November 2.
There’s optimism that Chicago Bulls F Javonte Green can return to the lineup in approximately a month following a right knee procedure, sources tell ESPN. Bulls plan to reevaluate in two weeks.

Season already over Otto Porter Jr.
Anyone hear from friend Otto? No ? Indeed, Otto Porter Jr. barely had time to wear the Raptors jersey. Out since November 14, the winger has had foot surgery and is due to end his season, Marc J. Spears has announced.ESPN here. Signed for 12.3 million over two years, the veteran has played just eight games this season, averaging 5.5 points and 2.4 rebounds. The tile for Otto, who comes out of a good season, ended in apotheosis on a title with the Warriors. Leader of the Golden State bench, bringing shoot, defense and experience, the Wilt Chamberlain look-alike left the Bay to offer himself a new challenge in Canada. Nothing will happen. It’s also a hell of a tile for Toronto, which is having a complicated season. The Dinos are eleventh in the Eastern Conference, mix the good and the bad, but still remain on two consecutive victories. the board of the Raptors, who will perhaps move to the deadline, going to have to rack their brains to replace it.

The Suns bothered
Deandre Ayton sprained his left ankle, once more, in the loss to Cleveland last Sunday. Nothing too alarming, it can come back at any time (listed in day-to-day), but will likely miss the trip to Denver tonight. The slightly bigger concern is that in Phoenix, Chris Paul (pain in right hip), Cameron Payne (sprained right foot), Cam Johnson (torn right meniscus) and Devin Booker (bobo in the groin) are all unavailable. It is therefore a team led by Duane Washington Jr. and Mikal Bridges who paid the Warriors last night. Huge performance. Worrying for the Dubs, but brilliant atmosphere in Arizona (all things considered). Devin Booker will be re-evaluated on the last week of January, while Cam Johnson took part in the road-trip of the team in the West of the country. Barely positive results, 21-21, 7th place in the conference, frankly it’s fine.

And then everything else
DeMar DeRozan damaged the left quad. Any small alert since the rear of the Bulls is already listed in « day-to-day ». Stephen Curry returned last night with the Warriors. Defeat in Phoenix but great feelings. We breathe in Indiana: T.J. McConnell had an MRI following being hit in the right shoulder. Nothing too worrying, the area is apparently stable. In addition, Daniel Theis and Kendall Brown both appeared… in uniform at team training. We are approaching recovery following some serious glitches. Good and suddenly we leave you with a video of him checking his partners.
Kudos to TJ McConnell for memorizing a different thing for every teammate. pic.twitter.com/gmCjonTn50
