Boozer Injures Ankle, X-Rays Negative
Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer injured his left ankle in the fourth quarter of the team's 101-84 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. X-rays on Boozer's ankle came back negative.
Boozer was going in for a layup as Chicago led by 17 points Wednesday night when Kwame Brown swiped and hit him across the chest. Boozer's left leg bent awkwardly as he hit the floor. Brown received a flagrant foul on the play.
Boozer eventually got to his feet and limped to the bench. After being examined, it was determined he was unable to take the free throws and was helped to the locker room.
Coach Tom Thibodeau said Boozer would be examined on Thursday. It wasn't immediately known if he would miss any time.
Boozer had 10 points and seven rebounds.
