Nikola Mirotic back at Bulls' practice on Saturday
Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (back) returned to a full practice on Saturday.
What It Means:
Mirotic strained his back about a week ago, but this is a nice sign for the Bulls that he is back at practice. Chicago has yet to name a starting power forward, but even though Taj Gibson has been playing well, Mirotic gives the Bulls much-needed spacing and shooting in the lineup.
Mirotic upped his effective field goal percentage to .518 last season with a 39 percent average from deep. He averaged 11.8 points in 24.9 minutes per game and his per-36 numbers of 17.0 points and 7.9 rebounds from last season were very impressive.
