Chicago Bulls Upgrade Nic Claxton Injury Status Ahead of Sixers Matchup

The Chicago Bulls acquired Nic Claxton from the Brooklyn Nets as part of a four-team trade in the offseason. It was one of the first moves made by new executive vice president Bryson Graham. Claxton was expected to provide stability on defense, but his Bulls debut has been delayed due to a left hamstring injury. The Bulls diagnosed him with a strained left hamstring at training camp. He missed the entire preseason and the first six games of the season.
