The Bulls’ superstar has been sidelined for approximately three weeks due to the league’s health and safety protocols, but The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports LaVine is expected to play Thursday vs. the Hornets. Garrett Temple has been starting in LaVine’s absence, so his return will likely shift Temple to the bench. Ryan Arcidiacono should also see a reduction in playing time.
LaVine will likely have his minutes limited in his first game back, but the Bulls need his services if they want to make one final push for the play-in tournament. They’ve fallen a full 4.
