Nuggets send Bol Bol back to the Windy City Bulls of the G League

Bol is averaging 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game with the Bulls while he is shooting 54.1% from the field.

The Denver Nuggets have assigned two-way rookie center Bol Bol to the Windy City Bulls of the G League, the team announced on Wednesday afternoon.

The 7-foot-2 center previously played four games with the Bulls prior to re-joining the Nuggets on Nov 24. The organization likely wanted to evaluate Bol after his stint in the G League to see how his body reacted to his first meaningful minutes on the court since undergoing foot surgery in January.

He did not play with the Nuggets after re-joining the team.

Bol is averaging 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game with the Bulls while he is shooting 54.1% from the field. He recorded his best game on Nov. 20 after tallying 16 points and 11 rebounds against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Now, it appears as though Bol is gearing up for another stint with the Bulls.

Bol has shown no signs of any lingering issues with his foot and likely cleared all medical tests by the Nuggets after being assigned to the Bulls on Wednesday. He is reportedly on a 20-minute restriction per game as the Nuggets will be cautious with his recovery.

The Bulls play next on Thursday against the Agua Caliente Clippers.
