NBA Playoffs 2015: Nikola Mirotic Injures Knee, Bulls’ Playoff Run at Jeopardy?

The Chicago Bulls managed to pull ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 of the series with a 91-82 victory. The win, however, did not come without a cost.

In the highly physical game, Bulls Nikola Mirotic left the game late in the fourth quarter after getting tied up several times with Bucks Zaza Pachulia.

In the first incident, which occurred with around four minutes left in the quarter, Pachulia elbowed Mirotic in the head. Shortly after, the two big men got into a scuffle and they both ended up on the floor.

The Bulls announced that Mirotic sustained a left quad strain and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. He could miss a few days. CBSSports.com NBA Insider Ken Beger reported that the team does not believe that Mirotic suffered ligament damage. The team was also reportedly concerned that Mirotic might have been concussed. A concussion diagnosis would sideline him for a couple of games.

"Hopefully it won't be anything serious," Bulls Pau Gasol said. "I think Zaza had a couple of bad plays, not basketball plays. He got penalized with technicals, but just got to protect players."

Bulls star, Derrick Rose, added, "It was rough, but actually it's more physical overseas a little bit. So I think that he's used to it. It probably just took him by surprise that [Pachulia] did so blatant, but I know that [Mirotic] will be all right."

The Bulls currently lead the series 2-0. Game 3 will be on Thursday, April 23 at 8 p.m. ET.
