The Chicago Bulls welcomed the defending champion OKC Thunder on Tuesday night. They were looking to repeat the victory afterwards a much needed win last week against the Milwaukee Bucks. In addition, the Bulls were looking for such Matas Buzelis to lead them to victory.

However, in the third quarter, Buzelis had to be brought out due to an apparent foot injury, according to Gavin Dorsey of The Roundtable Network. A few minutes ago, Josh Giddei was taken out after falling to the floor and was seen limping. Ironically, he had to be replaced by Bouzelis.

In the end, Gidi returned to the floor, but Bouzelis had to be taken back to the training roomaccording to the Chicago Sports Network.

The status of his injury is still unknown. Bouzelis left the game with 11 points and five rebounds. So far, Bouzelis is averaging 15.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. In total, he played 61 games this season.

He recently played Bouzelis in the Rising Stars NBA game during All-Star weekend. In addition, Bouzelis was open about his willingness to win amid the adjustments the Bulls had to make after seven trades. That was especially true after the Bulls suffered an 11-game losing streak in February.

Chicago has a record of 25-36 so far and is ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference. In addition, they have lost 9 of their last 10 games. After Tuesday, Chicago will embark on a five-game road trip. Three of those games will be played in California.
