The Bulls are 5-2 since Zach LaVine returned from a 17-game absence. The NBA trade deadline is less than 3 weeks away.
And now LaVine has suffered another injury setback.

Zach LaVine exited Thursday’s game in Toronto after rolling his right ankle.
Another injury would plunge the Bulls into further uncertainty as the front office attempts to drum up a trade market for the star. Trade deadline is exactly three weeks away.

Final: Bulls 116, Raptors 110.
Nikola Vučević, DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Coby White carried the Bulls to a needed road win.
But all eyes now turn to the health of Zach LaVine, who rolled his right ankle in the third quarter and did not finish the contest. – 9:52 PM

If LaVine doesn’t return, and I don’t see him on bench, he will play just 24 minutes and this will be 3rd time in 7 games he will take single-digit FGAs. Tonight will be season-low 7 FGAs. – 9:46 PM

LaVine only took 5 shots in first half. He has taken a season-low 8 FGAs in two of his first six games back after missing 17 with right foot inflammation. He’s averaging just 11.8 FGAs since returning, saying he has wanted to concentrate on defense and setting up his teammates – 9:02 PM

But that relief didn’t last for long. LaVine missed two shot attempts and assisted a 3-pointer from Patrick Williams in four minutes before he was pulled back out of the game. LaVine did not start the fourth quarter, then entered for only 2:20 before he was quickly yanked again for Ayo Dosunmu. After the game, coach Billy Donovan said that LaVine “wasn’t moving great” and could never get back to full speed after the injury. LaVine did not score a point in less than seven minutes on the court after his initial exit. The Bulls will assess his availability for Saturday’s home game once they return to Chicago. -via Chicago Tribune / January 19, 2024
