Regarding the 7-10 day timetable for Nikola Vucevic, which I said on our pregame show last night, I’m told it’s still too early to know anything definitive. But it was pretty clear last night from Donovan’s comments that the rest of the homestand was unlikely. – 10:45 AM

Without Nikola Vucevic, Zach LaVine and Torrey Craig, the Bulls downed the Hawks.
Andre Drummond was everywhere.

Bulls trail 56-50 at the half. Took an early lead, but allowed Hawks to come back in a 39-22 second quarter.
Andre Drummond leads scoring with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Critical for the Bulls with Vooch sidelined tonight. – 9:05 PM

Bulls’ center Nikola Vucevic to miss time with groin strain.
That leaves Chicago without 2 of their top 4 scorers (LaVine remains out with foot inflammation).

Bulls face Embiid and 76ers twice in next week. If Vucevic is sidelined for a week or so—-and timeline could fall barely on either side of that; it’s not known yet—-that’s a significant loss. – 6:27 PM

Nikola Vucevic is OUT tonight for #Bulls vs. Atlanta. Sounds like he’ll miss a few games with groin strain. – 6:17 PM

Adama Sanogo was at Bulls shootaround this AM, listed as questionable. As is Nikola Vucevic, who was lifting weights when media was allowed in gym.
This has been your Bulls shootaround update. – 12:44 PM

More on this storyline
The Chicago Bulls will be without starting center Nikola Vučević for the coming days after an MRI exam confirmed a strained left groin, coach Billy Donovan said. Donovan wouldn’t place a firm timeline on a return for Vučević, who played all 82 games last season for the first time in his 13-year career and hadn’t missed a game since the last game of the 2021-22 season. The team will see how this week progresses, with the hope that his absence is in the range of four to 10 days. -via NBC Sports Chicago / December 26, 2023
