Chicago Bulls’ insider K.C. Johnson tweeted that Lauri Markkanen is doubtful ahead of the Bulls’ encounter with the Washington Wizards on Monday night.
Markkanen has been dealing with a right shoulder injury that has held him out of the Bulls Saturday night game against the Orlando Magic. Markkanen was largely ineffective in his two games before sitting out, averaging 11.0 points and 4.5 rebounds.
Patrick Williams started at power forward in Markkanen’s absence and scored 16 points on 7/13 shooting, to go with 10 rebounds and one assist. His 30.5 FanDuel points were his second-highest output on the season.
