Bulls are back tonight, as they had their now-customary single day off and have their 3rd game in 4 nights. But it’s at home. And after seeing guys return from injury and then DeRozan being held out for rest, this game tonight should be the start of the squad for the next 6 weeks or so. Or at least until the trade deadline.
Because everyone out now will be out for a while. Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball are rehabbing from surgery. Crazily a new one has been added to the ‘6-8 week’ club: as Derrick Jones, who was still not yet back after hyperextending his knee, broke a finger in practice and will be out for that approximately month-and-a-half period like the rest.
