Since the month of July, the second-year former seventh overall NBA Draft pick of the Chicago Bulls Wendell Carter Jr. was unable to stay healthy. The talented center underwent surgery for a sports hernia injury back in July and he’s had two other issues since. In just three days of Training Camp, the Bulls already saw Carter Jr. go through a minor ankle sprain and a tailbone contusion.
These injuries Carter Jr. suffered through what should be a lack of intense basketball action are confounding. But head coach Jim Boylen seems like the one to run much more intense practices than most other coaches in the NBA.
