There was a brief moment of excitement on Monday.
As Bulls coach Jim Boylen was doing his pregame media session outside the visiting locker room of the TD Garden Arena, out walked veteran forward Otto Porter Jr., workout clothes on, not a walking boot in sight.
Excitement often fades quickly when it comes to Porter, however.
What looked to be a visit to the court was nothing more than a quick lift in the workout room. That’s why very little clarity was being offered up on Wednesday, when the Porter topic was once again brought up.
