Derrick Jones Jr. fractures finger during workout as Chicago Bulls' injury woes worsen

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. fractured his right index finger while working out at their practice facility and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, the team said Tuesday.

Jones' finger will be placed in a splint, and the team left open the possibility that he could return to the court earlier with a protective splint.

Jones had been sidelined since Jan. 12 with a bone bruise in his right knee. He's averaging 6.3 points and shooting 58% from the field in 31 games (eight starts) for the Bulls.

Chicago already is without guards Lonzo Ball (knee) and Alex Caruso (wrist).
