Lauri Markkanen realized something wasn't right in the early minutes of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
He committed a turnover on the Bulls' second possession, then missed a jumper in the lane and couldn't finish two shots at the rim all within the first 4 minutes. It was around that time, Markkanen told reporters Friday at the Advocate Center, that he began experiencing what was later diagnosed as extreme fatigue.
"I wasn't really worried at any point, Markkanen said. "Just felt really weird. How you are after a workout and a couple minutes in (to the game) I felt like I already finished a workout.
