Dunn, 23, has had an excellent year for the Bulls after a disappointing rookie campaign for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He’s averaging 13.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.1 steals in 29.7 minutes per game.
The Warriors acquired Dunn, along with Zach LaVine and the draft pick that became Lauri Markkanen, from the Timberwolves in exchange for Jimmy Butler and the draft pick that became Justin Patton.
With any luck, this injury will be a minor setback for the young, talented guard.
