Bulls guard Zach LaVine detailed his left knee issue 10 days ago in Miami, insisting that he was basically day-to-day the rest of the season.
Nothing to panic about, but that was just the reality for the All-Star guard.
His reality hit yet again on Saturday.
After an off-day, and then taking Friday’s practice off, LaVine and the Bulls were hoping that he would get over the latest bout of discomfort in the knee in time for the game with the Cavaliers, but that just wasn’t the case.
“It’s going to be something that we have to manage,’’ coach Billy Donovan said.
