Back spasms will cost Mirotic his second straight game, and coach Fred Hoiberg
intimated that it’s very possible the 26-year-old could be held out of
Thursday’s game against Boston, as well. A decision on his status for that
contest won’t be decided until Wednesday or Thursday, however. In Mirotic’s
absence, expect to see more of Bobby Portis and Cristiano Felicio, who played 31
and 24 minutes, respectively, off the bench Sunday in Minnesota.
