Nikola Mirotic

Bulls' Nikola Mirotic (face) will not travel on team's four-game road trip

Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg announced that forward Nikola Mirotic would not be traveling with the team on Sunday, per the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson.

What It Means:

The team starts a four-game road trip that starts on Sunday and doesn't end until November 24th. Obviously, Mirotic will not be able to play until November 26th at the very earlier. Until then, Lauri Markkanen will continue to start as Bobby Portis backs him at the power forward spot.

Mirotic is projected to average 15.2 points on 47.9% shooting and 33.2% from beyond the arc this season.
