Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn may be out for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago first reported this as a possibility earlier this week, and now the Bulls say Dunn will be reevaluated in 4-6 weeks with an MCL injury.

Johnson notes that there is a “growing belief” that Dunn may be done for the year. There's not even two months left in the regular season, so it's hard to see the guard returning unless the Bulls are battling for a playoff spot. Chicago is 19-36 and five games out of the playoffs.

Dunn initially suffered the injury back on Jan. 31, when Thaddeus Young took a charge and collided with Dunn's right knee in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets. It was then diagnosed as an MCL sprain, with a further timetable coming in two weeks.

In 51 games and 32 starts this season, Dunn has averaged 7.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.0 steals over 24.9 minutes per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the floor, 25.9 percent from 3-point range and 74.1 percent from the free-throw line.

While his offensive game has not progressed as much as hoped, Dunn has found a role on Chicago as an ace perimeter defender, which certainly holds value.

Also, if Dunn is, in fact, out for the rest of the 2019-20 campaign, it means that he could have played his last game as a member of the Bulls, as he is set to be a restricted free agent this coming summer.

The 25-year-old, who played his collegiate basketball at Providence, was originally selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick of the 2016 NBA Draft.

After spending one season with the Timberwolves, Dunn was traded to Chicago in a deal that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota.

He owns career averages of 8.3 points, 4.2 assists, 3.3 boards and 1.5 steals across 24.3 minutes a night.
