Chicago Bulls reserve center Omer Asik will miss the rest of the playoffs because of a broken left fibula.

Asik, the 7-0 255lb center from Turkey, was injured in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals at Miami. The team says an MRI and CT scan taken before Game 4 on Tuesday confirmed the injury. He tried to play anyway, but lasted just two minutes.
