Warriors suffer another blow; Marquese Chriss breaks leg [The Mercury News :: BC-BKN-WARRIORS-CHRISS:SJ]
Golden State Warriors center Marquese Chriss suffered a broken right leg during Saturday’s practice in Chicago and will miss a significant part of the season, a league source told the Bay Area News Group.
A more complete timeline for his return will be determined after Chriss, 23, undergoes surgery in the coming days.
In addition to fracturing his right fibula, Chriss also suffered a high ankle sprain, said the source, who asked not to be identified because he is not authorized to discuss medical information.
Although the Warriors medical staff has yet to rule Chriss out for the season, the injury is a blow to the 6-foot-9 player who had carved out an NBA home in Golden State.

WEEK ONE. THE BULLS ARE BACK AND THE GAMES COUNT. LET’S GO.
Meet the Opponents:
Atlanta Hawks (0-0):
Who needs Luka Doncic when you have Trae Young, right? RIGHT!? SAY RIGHT! Anyway, hi, we’re the Hawks. We like long walks through the World of Coca Cola, eating peaches, and playing minimal defense. This offseason we signed a number of veterans – including Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kris Dunn, and Rajon Rondo – to try to keep our rising super-star happy. Can we finally crawl out of the disgusting depths of the Eastern Conference? That’s a story only time can tell, but we’d be off to a solid start with a win against the team who swept us last season (the Chicago Bulls).
