Kris Dunn, Robin Lopez get into shouting match at Bulls practice

Share

The Bulls have had plenty off the court drama this season and Monday added another incident to that list.

Kris Dunn and Robin Lopez got into it at practice, with the two yelling at each other and Lopez being told to "cool off," according to Teddy Greenstein at the Chicago Tribune. Lopez did not speak to media about the incident, but Dunn said they "just practiced hard."

"We had a very, very competitive practice," Boylen said in an ESPN story by Malika Andrews. "I felt like we had some guys who are sick of not winning games."

Boylen explained to reporters that there were no punches thrown and that everyone "treated each other with respect" when they came back. He also said that Lopez has been frustrated that he is seeing his minutes cut this season.

This isn't high on the list of dramatic incidents for the Bulls this season. This one is fairly tame, but it still is noteworthy.

Lopez may not be with the Bulls for much longer anyway. The Bulls are looking for a trade partner to send Lopez to instead of buying him out of his contract. This may not endear him to potential suitors, but probably isn't significant to scare them away either.
