Trade rumors posts are way more fun than injury update posts, though they are somewhat intertwined: how can the Bulls assess their needs if their top need to not be so injured?
First, the more encouraging news for the Bulls guard corps, concerning likely consecutive All-Star Game participant Zach LaVine. Shams Charania poked his head out of his Reinsdorf-owned office to find out and publish for the Athletic that LaVine may return as soon as Wednesday’s home game against the Raptors. It was already known that LaVine was not a part of this weekend road trip of 3 games in 4 nights in Milwaukee, Orlando, and Oklahoma City, so this is literally the best possible timetable for return.
