Rodman, Bulls Disagree on Time to Recover from Calf Muscle Injury
Chicago Bull forward Dennis Rodman said Thursday he will be out about a month because of a leg injury, but the team said his status is day to day.
Rodman told Chicago radio station WSCR that he ripped his left calf muscle trying to jump on the last play of Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors.
He said it feels similar to an injury he suffered three years ago that caused him to sit out for a month.
“I know it’s a month,” he told the station in a telephone interview from Cleveland, where the Bulls defeated the Cavaliers on Thursday. “It’s kind of disappointing.”
Bull spokesman Tom Smithburg said Rodman made the trip to Cleveland for Thursday’s game and would be examined by team doctors today.
Tuesday night’s 117-108 victory over Toronto was his best game with the Bulls--11 points, 13 rebounds and six assists.
