According to Inside Hoops, Bulls fourth year forward Tyrus Thomas broke his arm while weight lifting at practice this morning:
Bulls F Tyrus Thomas Breaks Arm; Out 4-6 Weeks
Chicago Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas suffered a fractured radius of his left forearm during a weight training session this morning at practice. X-rays confirmed the injury and he will undergo surgery tomorrow. The surgery will be performed at Rush, by team physicians Dr. Brian Cole and Dr. John Fernandez, and assisted by Dr. Mark Cohen.
Thomas is expected to be out four to six weeks. In four games (three starts) this season, the Louisiana State product has averaged 8.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 1.75 bpg in 21.0 mpg.
This news is obviously a huge disappointment for the Bulls, particularly after their upset of the Cavs last night. Thomas is a key to the Chicago defense and someone that they’ll likely have a hard time replacing. We’ll have more news as it emerges from Chicago.
