I mean, it's a concern. But, fights happen. Cheap shots happen.

Look up KG / Rick Rickert.

Sources: Bulls forwards Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic were involved in serious altercation in practice today, leaving Mirotic hospitalized and out indefinitely. Story coming.

Seems like the Bulls are really going to try hard for lottery odds this year.

EDIT: Updated with a link to a further story.

The FORCE is strong in this Portisan. Eye see...strength in him.

Like any organization, teams tolerate BS if the player is good enough. If Portis has a breakout year, all will be forgotten.

I think that's kind of awesome.  Just maybe don't envision your teammates as the ones who slapped your momma.

Section 16 (ii) allows the team to terminate a contract if a physical attack is committed to any official or employee of the team.

Apparently 4 to 6 weeks recovery for Mirotic.  Interesting to see what penalty Portis draws.  If he's playing after a few games suspension while Mirotic has a month of recovery, that wouldn't seem fair.  Unless Mirotic said or did something way out of line, hard to see how Portis stays with the Bulls.

Am I wrong to laugh at the Bulls over this?

It's hard to make a judgement without knowing what happened. I don't think Portis was intentionally trying to put Mirotic on the bench for 4-6 weeks. Merely, I think he was just trying to punch him in the face. I've been punched in the face a couple times, and I have never broken any facial bones.

I would like to know what was being said before casting judgement. Remember Zidane? Everyone thought he was a bad dude at the moment, and then rumors trickled out that the Italian player was making racist and/or crude remarks about a female family member. Sometimes men need to take matters into their own hands.

Just sucks for Mirotic that he got hurt.
