Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen is expected to miss two to four weeks with a right shoulder injury, the team said Monday.
The diagnosis of a sprained right acromioclavicular joint followed an MRI exam.
Markkanen, 23, sustained the injury in Friday night’s 123-119 loss to the Magic in Orlando. The Bulls followed with a win against the Magic on Saturday without Markkanen in the lineup.
