LAS VEGAS — Last summer, as a rookie, Paul Zipser missed his first Summer League due to a commitment with the German national team. This year, he suffered a left ankle injury in the Bulls’ first game and missed the rest of the tournament.
It was a disappointing setback, but not a long-term concern, Zipser said. The second-year small forward is expected to play a significant role in the coming season as the Bulls take on a long, challenging rebuild. The No. 48 pick in the 2016 draft, Zipser was able to earn consistent minutes starting in January of his rookie season, proving himself to be a solid two-way wing who can guard multiple positions.
