Acquired by the Bulls from Portland before the start of the season, Anthony averaged 8.5 points and a team-high 5.7 assists in 35 games before suffering his injury in a January 17 contest at Atlanta.

In his 11th NBA season, Anthony has reached double figures in 14 games, but is shooting just 39 percent. He scored a season-high 19 points and had 11 assists in a December 14 game against Boston.

Anthony will likely split time at point guard with newly acquired Travis Best, who came to Chicago along with swingman Jalen Rose Tuesday in a seven-player trade with the Indiana Pacers.

Rookie guard Norman Richardson, who was also involved in that deal, was placed on the injured list with a left ankle sprain to make room on the roster for Anthony. Richardson appeared in just three games with the Pacers.
