The Bulls should have young center Wendell Carter Jr. back in action soon. Possibly tomorrow. Here’s the Chicago Sun-Times:
Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. watched Friday night as other first- and second-year NBA players ran up and down the United Center court during the Rising Stars game. He wanted to join them but couldn’t because of the high ankle sprain he suffered Jan. 6 in a loss to the Mavericks…
Carter participated in most of practice at the Advocate Center and hinted he could return to the lineup Thursday night against the Hornets.
In other good news, forward Otto Porter Jr., who has been out with a foot injury since November, was a full participant in practice, though his return timeline is still uncertain.
The Bulls are in a state of rebuild. The squad is all about the future. As for the present, winning would be nice, but the team’s main goal should be to develop young talent, like Carter.
