The Bulls initially projected Felicio to miss at least a week after he suffered a right lower leg strain while attempting to block a shot in last Friday’s loss to the Rockets, but the center was apparently present for shootaround Wednesday and has progressed faster than anticipated. Felicio’s potential return would have the most negative impact on starting center Robin Lopez, who logged 32 minutes and provided 17 points and six rebounds when his top backup wasn’t available in Monday’s win over the Kings.

Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer indicated Wednesday that he’s optimistic Sefolosha (groin) will be back before the All-Star break, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. “Every game or every day we were ramping [Sefolosha] up and seeing if he could get ready and if he would be available,” Budenholzer said. “I think we are backing off how much we ramp him up and maybe say let’s take a few days and a few games and see if the less workload and less ramp-up can that get him to where he is ready to go here shortly.”
