Bulls' Hamilton (foot) could miss two weeks


Posted Dec 5, 2012 8:05 PM

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau says veteran guard Richard Hamilton could miss two weeks because of a foot injury.

Hamilton sustained a left plantar fascia tear in Saturday's game against Philadelphia and didn't play in Tuesday's loss to Indiana. Thibodeau said before Wednesday night's game against Cleveland that Hamilton, who is averaging 13.9 points, will probably miss a week or two.

The Bulls have played the entire season without point guard Derrick Rose, who underwent reconstructive surgery on his left knee during last season's playoffs. Thibodeau has given no timetable on when the former MVP will return.
