The Chicago Bulls are now 5-13 through the first 18 games of the 2018-19 NBA season. It’s safe to say that it’s been a less-than-stellar start for the squad.
A lot of the Bulls’ struggles are because of the injuries that have plagued the team. Lauri Markkanen has yet to play a game in the 2018-19 season (elbow), Kris Dunn has only played in one game (knee), Bobby Portis has only played in four games (knee) and Denzel Valentine is out for the entire season (ankle).
Of course, injuries aren’t the only reason the Bulls have been struggling.
