Bulls rookie forward Julian Phillips and second-year wing Dalen Terry had better be ready to pick up some extra minutes.
The team announced Tuesday that veteran reserve forward Torrey Craig has an acute sprain of his right plantar fascia — a more significant injury to his right foot than initially hoped.
Craig’s recovery will involve the foot being immobilized for about four weeks, followed by an additional four to six weeks of rehab.
Craig, who was averaging 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, suffered the injury in Miami. The Bulls wanted him to get checked out by their doctors once their road trip ended Monday; results came back that afternoon.
With Torrey unavailable in a win over the 76ers on Monday, coach Billy Donovan used Terry for 10 minutes, but he also has been giving Phillips playing time recently. How he uses the two likely will be based on matchups.
