Nikola Mirotic returned to Bulls practice but kept avoiding Bobby Portis

Four weeks after the incident that cost him a facial fracture, Nikola Mirotic returned to Bulls training facility to do some light work. But the Spanish forward is still avoiding his teammate Bobby Portis, who punched him in the face just before the start of regular season.

"They are adults. This is our workplace. They’re both part of the team. I think it’s pretty simple," Paxson said about the issue between Mirotic and Portis. Mirotic, who reportedly asked for a trade, cannot be moved before January 15th.
