Tyrus Thomas will miss the next four to six weeks after breaking his arm in a weightlifting accident, the Chicago Bulls reported Friday afternoon. X-rays confirmed that he suffered a fractured radius in his left forearm, and he's scheduled to undergo surgery Saturday. It's unclear what exactly happened, but on the surface it sounds like a fluke injury that could have happened to anyone. That said, it's oddly fitting that it happened to Thomas, who's recently suffered through a frustrating string of setbacks, including his team's decision not to offer an extension, inconsistent playing time, alleged arguments with the coaching staff and allegations by the local media that he faked the flu. When it rains, it pours.

Are you kidding me? The Bulls don't need this overhyped, do nothing waste of roster space. Why they haven't traded him already is beyond me because he is useless. I have never seen a more clueless player in all the years I've followed the Bulls, he has no outside shot yet throws it up at the worst times without even thinking about it, he is way too inconsistent and is unreliable in the clutch. He can sit out the rest of the season for all I care.

If he truly broke an arm he'll be out much longer than "four to six week"; four to six months is more realistic!
