Bulls lose Wendell Carter Jr. 4-6 weeks with severe ankle sprain

Chicago’s leading rebounder will be out for several games.

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. will be out four to six weeks with a severe right ankle sprain, the team announced Thursday night.

Carter, in his second season, is averaging 11.7 points and a team-high 9.9 rebounds after being limited to just 44 games as a rookie because of a thumb injury. He has become one of the Bulls’ most solid defensive players and has 17 double-doubles on the year.
