Chicago Bulls head coach Jim Boylen has been told by management to not answer questions about players' injuries anymore, according to David Schuster of WSCR Radio-Chicago.

Bulls forward Otto Porter Jr. is expected to be out another four weeks after Boylen said a few weeks ago that he didn't expect Porter to be out for that long.

The Bulls, after losing to the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, are 9-18 on the season. They are in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Boylen is John Paxson and Gar Forman's puppet. He will do anything they ask since he received a contract extension this past summer, which wasn't earned.

Boylen had a mutiny on his hands last season and he’s already gotten into a little spat with shooting guard Zach LaVine after benching the high-flyer against the Miami Heat. LaVine responded to the benching with 49 points and a game-winning shot versus the Charlotte Hornets, but it’s pretty clear Zach and Boylen have a ways to go before they are on the same page.

The Bulls were expected to compete for a playoff spot this season. Chicago is only three games out of a playoff spot, but that’s only because the back half of the Eastern Conference is so bad.
