TIP-INS
Cavaliers: F Larry Nance Jr. was scoreless in 17 minutes off the bench in his second game back from a sprained right knee. ... Cleveland let go G Cameron Payne after declining to sign him for the remainder of the season. Payne's second 10-day contract expired Saturday. He averaged 8.2 points and 2.6 assists in nine games with Cleveland.
Bulls: Rookie F Chandler Hutchinson will be sidelined for at least a month with a fractured bone in his right foot. Hutchinson will be in a walking boot for two to four weeks and will be reevaluated following next month's all-star break. The 22nd pick of the 2018 draft has played in 44 games (14 starts), averaging 5.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 20.3 minutes.
PLAYING HURT
Hutchinson was injured late against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, but thought it was just minor soreness. He practiced the following day and had a career-high-tying 12 points and a career-high 12 rebounds in 41 minutes two nights later against the Los Angeles Clippers before the injury was discovered.
"You play a whole game, you think just some ice, some stim and treatment and you'll be good," Hutchinson said. "To have to be out for multiple weeks is kind of a bummer."
