Another year, another injury. During Monday’s game, the Chicago Bulls lost Wendell Carter Jr. to a High Ankle Sprain. This is not only a blow to the rebuild and the development of the core but also a blow to this season’s playoff chances.

The Bulls are five back of the loss column from the 8th-seeded Nets. With the loss of Carter, the Bulls lost their best defensive player. The aggressive Pick-and-Roll scheme the Bulls run is going to be tested in his absence.
The center has a lot of responsibility in this scheme; he has to show on the screen and then quickly recover back to the paint.
