Bulls’ Otto Porter is back on the shelf with a reoccurring back injury

It once again started grabbing at Otto Porter Jr. late in the game against Portland.

By the second half against New York on Monday, the grabs turned to painful squeezes.

Just like that the often-injured veteran forward was back on the shelf for the Bulls.

“It’s been something that’s been bothering and nagging with him,’’ coach Billy Donovan said on Wednesday. “He felt better going into the last game against New York. And I think toward the second half just wasn’t feeling great. So we’re going to try to just help him get corrected and feeling better.
