CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Zach LaVine was willing to offer up evidence, just to make sure the conspiracy theorists didn’t get any wild ideas.
After all, he was a late scratch from Monday’s game with the Hornets, executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas is on the current two-city road trip, and the trade rumors hovering over the Bulls aren’t exactly going away anytime soon.
So LaVine took the sock off his left foot to show the damage.
“I’ve got a purple toe right now,” LaVine said with a laugh.
