The hits kept coming for your Chicago Bulls. Ahead of last night’s eventual 106-101 home win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago announced that starters Zach LaVine and Javonte Green would miss the contest, though neither has a long-term injury (in some relatively ‘happy’ injury news). LaVine and Green joined Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, and Patrick Williams in the Bulls’ lengthening injury report.
Billy Donovan opted to start Coby White and Troy Brown Jr. in their stead, with a returning Derrick Jones Jr. coming off the bench.
But it didn’t matter. With LaVine absent, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic stepped up in the scoring department to eke out the win on Neil Funk Night.
