CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton returned to the lineup on Wednesday night after being sidelined for four games because of a lower left leg contusion.
Coach Billy Donovan said Sexton was available for the team’s game against Toronto. Sexton got hurt during a 126-110 loss at Sacramento on March 8.
Fellow guard Isaac Okoro was ruled out against the Raptors because of right knee pain. He missed his fifth consecutive game.
“I’d say he’s probably a little bit longer than day to day,” Donovan said. “Just dealing with the knee soreness there. I think he’s still feeling it. … He’s on the court doing some stuff, but it’s pretty limited right now.”
Okoro, 25, was acquired in a trade with Cleveland. He is averaging 9.0 points in 55 games in his first season with Chicago.
“He’s incredibly unselfish, in terms of he’s not like trying to hunt shots, trying to hunt points,” Donovan said. “Everything, when you talk to him, it’s never about him. It’s always about the team.”
The 27-year-old Sexton was acquired in a February trade with Charlotte. He is averaging 16.2 points in 12 games with Chicago going into the matchup with Toronto.
