‘Disappointing for our country,’ says Bulls coach Billy Donovan

According to Billy Donovan, there was “no discussions’’ with his players to sit out the Wednesday game against the Kings, in the wake of the deadly protests at the Capital.

That doesn’t mean the Bulls coach didn’t have some important conversations with members of his coaching staff and his players about a day that Donovan called “disappointing for our country.’’

“Obviously I think it just goes to show that we have still a long way to go as a country,’’ Donovan said in a Zoom call. “Certainly extremely disappointing with what took place. Again, I, with a back-to-back and film, staff meetings, players, I haven’t seen enough television or read enough, but obviously I was updated on the events by staff and coaches and players.
