CHICAGO -- After facing a boatload of injuries, a familiar face will return to the Chicago Bulls lineup on Monday night against Dallas.

Otto Porter Jr. is set to play after being sidelined with a left foot fracture since Nov. 6.

Although he's missed 51 total games, Porter Jr. says there wasn't any consideration to miss the full season despite just 22 games remaining.

"I've been out 17 weeks, so I'm not really worried about resting my foot or anything," Porter Jr. said. "I'm 100 percent so all of that goes out the window."

Bulls coach Jim Boylen also confirmed that Zach LaVine is doubtful versus Dallas with a left quad strain while Wendell Carter Jr. returns to the starting lineup.

Both Carter Jr. and Porter Jr. will be under a minutes restriction, according to Boylen.

Porter could play anywhere from 16-20 minutes, depending on how the game shakes out.

"We'll try to give him as good of run as we can and see how he feels," Boylen said. "There's two things inside a minute restriction. There's the duration of the segment and the total minutes so we kind of serve both of those."

During the nine games that Porter Jr. did play, he averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists. Boylen said he remained professional in his absence while staying engaged mentally with his teammates.

"Otto's a professional. He's a tough-minded guy," Boylen said. "He was locked in, he was in our meetings, he was in our film sessions. He communicates on the bench. Otto's a pro. He's been through it. He's one of our captains and he's operated like that."

He's now ready to hoop. Porter lists energy and leadership as the ways he can help the team during this final stretch of the regular season.

Chicago was 1-8 in February with a .111 win percentage, which was the worst in the NBA for the month.

"I didn't know when it first happened that it was a broken bone or anything so our doctors were doing everything to get answers and stuff and finally found out what the problem was so that kind of helped me mentally to make a comeback," Porter Jr. said.

Lauri Markkanen (right pelvis) was also assigned to the Windy City Bulls of the G-League for Monday's noon practice but will be recalled right after.

"He feels good about that, we feel good about that and we'll see how he comes through," Boylen said of Markkanen.
