After a tough loss to the OKC Thunder in their season opener for 2023-24, the Chicago Bulls regrouped with an exciting 104-103 overtime victory against the Toronto Raptors last night.
The Bulls are in for another challenging back-to-back game against the Pistons on the road, yet concerns loom as their star shooting guard, Zach LaVine, contends with a nagging back injury.
Reports coming in from the Bulls’ camp indicate that he has been listed “probable” for Saturday night against Detroit, according to Underdog NBA.
LaVine’s performance last night against the Raptors was far from his best, as he managed only a 3-14 shooting record from the field and a disappointing 0-6 from beyond the three-point line.
Considering his pivotal role in Chicago’s current and future plans, it’s a situation where he might be granted a day of rest.
Should there be any changes in LaVine’s injury status leading up to the game, and he is unable to participate, it’s expected that Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu will take on more significant responsibilities.
