Bulls guard Larry Hughes will miss six-to-eight weeks of action after dislocating his shoulder in Wednesday night's preseason win over the Timberwolves.

He dislocated his right shoulder late in the third quarter. Team sources claim that surgery can be avoided, but more tests will be conducted on Thursday and Friday.

"It's definitely tough because I was getting my touch back," Hughes said. "I've had different injuries before, so I'll figure what I need to do with rehab to get 100 percent healthy. I'm confident I can do that."
