Not just because of who the Bulls play, but who they might be adding.
After the Wednesday shootaround, coach Billy Donovan told reporters that guard Alex Caruso (wrist surgery) was cleared to practice with the team with no restrictions when the group reconvenes at the Advocate Center on Friday, and second-year forward Patrick Williams (wrist surgery) was cleared for limited contact.
Caruso, who underwent surgery on Jan. 24 after suffering the injury at the hands of a Grayson Allen flagrant-2, was the heart and soul of a Bulls defense that was top five when he played, as opposed to slipping to near the bottom without him.
