Bulls' Michael Carter-Williams: Ruled out Saturday vs. Cavaliers

Carter-Williams (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Bulls' radio announcer Chuck Swirsky reports.

Analysis:

Carter-Williams only played eight minutes in Friday's win over the Suns, and presumably sustained the injury in the contest. The severity of the issue is unknown at this time, but his next chance to return will be Tuesday versus Nuggets. The newly acquired Cameron Payne will be active for the contest, so he, Jerian Grant, and Rajon Rondo figure to split the point guard minutes. It is unclear who will draw the start at this point.
