Chicago Bulls - PlayerWatch

[November 11, 2015]  F Nikola Mirotic originally was not in the starting lineup on Monday against the 76ers. Reinserted at the last minute, he had 20 points and a season-high 10 rebounds as the Bulls beat Philadelphia 111-88. "It was tough for me the last two or three games -- playing without confidence ... playing with fouls," said Mirotic, who averaged 6.8 points on 22.2 percent shooting over his previous four outings. "But I knew I would be back soon enough, with my offense."

F Joakim Noah felt left knee soreness during warm-ups, and he didn't play Monday. It was a precautionary measure, coach Fred Hoiberg said.

C Pau Gasol contributed16 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots for the Bulls in a win over the 76ers.
