Valentine didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to ankle soreness and is without an official timetable for a return, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports. An early estimate for his absence is "about a week."

The specific nature of the injury isn't immediately clear, but it's serious enough to keep him from practicing. Valentine should be considered questionable ahead of the Bulls' preseason opener Sunday against the Pelicans, though it appears to be trending more towards doubtful.
