OKLAHOMA CITY — Bulls guard Zach LaVine missed his first game of the season Wednesday against the Thunder with a sprained right foot.
LaVine told the media before the game that he has been dealing with what he described as a mid-foot sprain since the Bulls’ 102-97 victory Saturday against the Heat. He said it wasn’t a specific play that caused to the injury.
He averaged 13 points and 5.5 assists in the Bulls’ two-game series against the Heat.
‘‘I cut my tape off at halftime because it was bugging me to play through it,’’ LaVine said.
