Chicago Bulls power forward Bobby Portis is moving up the ranks to become the heavyweight champ of the world. At least, that is what the common NBA fan would assume considering every time Portis has made headlines in the 2017-18 NBA season, there is usually some kind of physical injury involved with it.

However, this time the bodily harm he caused against the Washinton Wizards was completely unintentional. Unfortunately, it resulted in injuries to small forward Tomas Satoransky and point guard Tim Frazier, according to DJ Dunson of Yahoo! Sports:

With 2:35 left in regulation, Tomas Satoransky drove baseline and left his feet for a two-handed dunk. Portis rotated from the weakside to contest, met Satoransky in the air and fouled him hard on the arm. As Satoransky tumbled backward, his head scarily bounced off the hardwood and began bleeding from a cut, but he never lost consciousness. He eventually walked off and was examined by medical personnel.

Earlier in the game, backup Wizards point guard Tim Frazier also exited after stumbling head-first into Portis’ knees. An X-ray after the game showed Frazier suffered a nasal fracture and he will possibly need surgery.

Both incidents were obviously the result of a bang-bang play from both teams. Unfortunately, it was the Wizards who wound up taking most of the damage on the night. Despite the injuries, Washington still managed to escape with the 101-90 victory. However, Portis' reputation as a hardened individual continues to grow.

Chicago's offseason got off to a rocky start after a fight broke out between Portis and former teammate Nikola Mirotic during practice. The fallout from the incident resulted in Mirotic missing a good chunk of the season with a facial fracture before he was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Aside from his aggressive reputation, Portis has started to make some strides on the court this season. The third-year man out of Arkansas is currently averaging a career-high 12.2 points and 6.5 rebounds in 20.9 minutes per game.
