Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine will miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained deltoid ligament in his left ankle, Jim Boylen told reporters on Wednesday.
“We’ve gotten all the information we need to,” Boylen said. “We feel safe saying that’s kind of where it’s at.”
LaVine, who injured his ankle in the Bulls’ loss to the Orlando Magic in Mexico City on Thursday, has already missed two games. Boylen said the two-four week timetable is from Wednesday, not from when the injury occurred.
Ryan Arcidiacono has started alongside Kris Dunn in the back court without LaVine the past two games.
On Saturday, Boylen said LaVine had an MRI in San Antonio, where the team had a game, that revealed the injury. LaVine then went back to Chicago to undergo further testing.
LaVine is averaging 23.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game and is the team’s leading scorer. He signed a 4-year, 78 million dollar deal with the Bulls over the summer.
Boylen also said Jabari Parker, who has fallen out of the Bulls rotation, continues to suffer from a stomach illness.
“Were not sure exactly what it is yet, but we hope to get some answers as the day goes on,” Boylen said of Parker.
