Bulls F Porter (foot) out two more weeks with setback

Chicago Bulls small forward Otto Porter Jr. will be out at least two more weeks as he continues to heal from a foot injury. A repeat MRI of his left foot on Wednesday revealed "continued bone edema," according to the Bulls. Porter will briefly be immobilized and then "will resume a program of non-impact activities and targeted therapy," a team statement said.

Porter will be evaluated by foot and ankle specialist Dr. Bob Anderson in Green Bay, Wis., where he will be reassessed in two weeks. Porter, 26, has not played since Nov. 6 in the Bulls' 113-93 win over the Atlanta Hawks. In nearly 12 minutes in that game, he collected 13 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Before his injury, Porter had started all nine games for the Bulls to open the season, averaging 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. In seven NBA seasons, with both the Washington Wizards and Bulls, Porter has career averages of 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 408 games (295 starts).
