CHICAGO -- Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. had to be helped to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after landing awkwardly on his right leg 36 seconds into the game.
The Bulls announced Jones would not return for the remainder of the game due to a right knee injury.
Jones had been in Chicago's starting lineup the past six games while filling in for Javonte Green, who has been sidelined with a strained groin. Jones is averaging 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 58% in his first season with Chicago.
