Boozer will miss game against Hawks

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer will miss Tuesday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks with a left calf strain.

Boozer was hurt before the Bulls’ game Thursday night at Golden State and also sat out Chicago’s game Sunday in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Boozer is still day to day with the injury.

Boozer is averaging 14.8 points and 8.6 rebounds this season. He has played in 45 games.

Forward Taj Gibson is expected to make his eighth start of the season. Mostly coming off the bench, Gibson is averaging 12.6 points and 6.5 rebounds.
