After being sidelined for over a month due to a sprained ankle, Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen is finally ready to make his return to the court. The 24-year-old sharpshooter has been sorely missed by the Bulls, who have struggled in his absence.

Markkanen, who was averaging 19.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game before his injury, is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the Bulls’ offense. His ability to stretch the floor with his outside shooting and his versatility on the offensive end make him a key player for Chicago.

With Markkanen back in the lineup, the Bulls will look to make a push for the playoffs in the second half of the season. His return couldn’t come at a better time, as the team looks to solidify their standing in the Eastern Conference.

Fans can catch Markkanen back in action on Thursday when the Bulls take on the Toronto Raptors. Don’t miss out on seeing one of the league’s most promising young talents back on the court. Welcome back, Lauri Markkanen!
