Sam Smith: Zach LaVine's daring dunks should retire...for now

Zach LaVine is a thrilling dunker, but hopefully he focuses on body preservation in his eventual return.

The comment you most often hear when players are discussing injuries is they'll listen to their body.

I wonder if Zach LaVine's body said, "Enough with the dunking, already."

LaVine has missed the last two games after leaving the Golden State game last Friday with a knee issue after a few minutes. LaVine felt uncomfortable after an offensive rebound, and the sighs of relief were for an MRI the Bulls said showed no structural damage.
