Warriors rookie Jordan Bell had to leave Wednesday's game after suffering a left ankle injury in Golden State's matchup with the Bulls.

On the first possession of the game for Chicago, Robin Lopez drove the basket and threw down a massive dunk in the face of Bell, who was contesting the shot.

The Warriors announced Bell sprained his ankle, and will not return to the game. X-rays were negative and an MRI is scheduled for Thursday.

Bell is averaging 5.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in his rookie season for the Warriors. On a team full of All-Stars, Bell had carved himself a nice role coming off of the bench for Golden State and giving the defending champions good minutes.
