Representatives of Chicago forward Nikola Mirotic, injured by a punch from teammate Bobby Portis, have told the Bulls their client no longer wants to play alongside Portis. Mirotic suffered a concussion and broken facial bones when he was punched by Portis in a dust-up during practice on October 17. He is expected to miss four to six more weeks. The Bulls suspended Portis eight games for his role in the altercation. Chicago's vice president of basketball operations John Paxson told reporters the club is sensitive to Mirotic's plight.
