Since his second season in the Association, Otto Porter Jr. has averaged 72.4 games played per year.
That number is about to take a huge dip for the Bulls forward this season.
The Bulls announced on Tuesday that further testing showed that Porter’s injured left foot actually had a small fracture in it, and he would be on the shelf for at least four more weeks, before everything is re-evaluated.
But the calendar is already working against the 26-year-old veteran.
Another four weeks takes Porter to the first week of January. Even if everything is healed and there are no setbacks, the rehab as well as getting reconditioned might take Porter until at least February.
