Rightfully so, as the Bulls coach knew that what’s been rolled out the last few weeks just wasn’t good enough.
That’s why Donovan and his staff have been in the lab experimenting with new-look lineups and rotations, trying to hold down the fort until players like Lonzo Ball (knee), Alex Caruso (wrist) and Patrick Williams (wrist) are given the green light to return.
For all three it’s not if, but when, but it’s the when that remained a mystery.
According to Donovan, Caruso and Williams are waiting to be scanned again – possibly in the next week or so – so that they can be cleared for contact as long as everything healed up.
