Nic Claxton Expected to Make Season Debut Sunday Against the 76ers

Chicago Bulls center Nic Claxton is closing in on his season debut as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Head coach Tiago Splitter confirmed on Friday that Claxton is expected to take the floor for the first time this season on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic. The return of Claxton provides a significant boost to the Bulls' frontcourt rotation after missing the opening stretch of the year.
