Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn is playing in his first game at the United Center since suffering a concussion against the Golden State Warriors January 17, and he almost had another nasty injury Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Dunn chipped his teeth and missed nearly a month of action because of a concussion after a scary fall in January. The second-year guard nearly suffered a similar injury in the Bulls’ first game after the All-Star break.
Luckily, David Nwaba was able to grab Dunn, who leaped over Ben Simmons, as he was trying to block a shot. Nwaba stopped Dunn’s momentum before he came down on the floor, nearly in the same spot as his fall against Golden State.

The Bulls went 3-8 without Dunn following his injury in January.
