Wendell Carter Jr. (thumb) upgraded to doubtful for Bulls Thursday

Chicago Bulls rookie power forward Wendell Carter Jr. (thumb) has been upgraded to doubtful for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

This is excellent news after Carter Jr. was initially believed to be facing a multi-week absence. Even if he's ruled out for Thursday, the lottery pick appears to have a solid chance of suiting up for Saturday's contest against the Miami Heat. Bobby Portis will likely draw the start in Denver.

Carter Jr. is averaging 25.6 FanDuel points through 44 games, with 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.3 blocks per contest.
