Nikola Mirotic was out for more than a month as he got two facial bones broken after being punched by teammate Bobby Portis in a physical altercation that took place during practice
Today, the Spaniard returned to training in the Bulls facilities after fully recovering
“As the Bulls practiced at the Advocate Center, Nikola Mirotic first sat in the trainer’s room and then lifted weights in the background, his first time rejoining his teammates since Bobby Portis drew an eight-game suspension for his Oct. 17 punch that caused the above damage.
Nevertheless, Portis said he still hadn’t talked to Mirotic, who has told management he doesn’t want to share a locker room with Portis moving forward.
“I’d react normal,” Portis said when asked what he’d do if Mirotic approached him. “I’m a normal guy. I’m a high character guy, low maintenance guy. I’d welcome him in with open arms.”
