David Nwaba (ankle) not ready to return for Bulls

Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said that guard/forward David Nwaba is not yet ready for game action.

What It Means:

Nwaba went down with an ankle injury on November 4th and is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks. He's still experiencing some soreness in his ankle, so Paul Zipser and Denzel Valentine will continue to occupy most of the minutes at small forward. Hoiberg did say, "We miss his defensive intensity and rebounding" when speaking on Nwaba's ability.

Through 8 games, Nwaba is averaging 21 minutes and 19 FanDuel points per game.
