CHICAGO -- Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu is active for Monday night's game against the Chicago Bulls after being sidelined by a left calf injury for nearly a month.

Coach Terry Stotts says Aminu will be restricted to around 20 minutes "depending on how it goes."

Aminu started the first eight games of the season before he got hurt Nov. 8 against Phoenix. He is averaging 6.4 points and 6.6 rebounds.
