We hear anything about an injury update? The fact that he didn't come back last night doesn't sound great.

Welp, if he's out at least Javonte will get the start like everyone's be asking.

Gotta say, prior to getting hurt last night, I was liking most of what I was seeing from PW. He was driving to the basket, slashing a bit more, and fighting through screens. A couple of rotations were missed but he was at least going for the boards. It was encouraging.

He was better but still has work to do. He had a nice feed to Vuc at the 4:25 mark in the 2nd. Vuc missed the shot, Pat was in good a good spot on the court but bad position and didn't even attempt the rebound. He has to shore that up. Where he was at and with that play that should be instinct to go for that board. He just needs to get more reps so that rebounding is more in his muscle memory, like Johnson has it. he is showing improvement though and his growth isn't a light switch that just goes on, its a progression.

I mean, yeah he was better? But the bar is so low right now. Given his positional responsibility, still inadequate. Just because he can get better does not mean he should be starting. I suspect he did start in the past and present because they were trying to develop him, and lack of reasonable alternative. Given the win now situation the team is in, AKME should be trying to find the alternative.

Apparently his pain tolerance is off the charts because he didn't even seem hurt.

Just when the Bulls were finding their identity they lose a piece they were counting on to make a step or 2 forward. Javonte Green is serviceable, but undersized for the role. Bulls were already thin in the frontcourt, now they need to make a move.

I feel really bad for Patrick. This season didnt even get started for him. Just bad luck man. Hurts ankle in training camp. Hurts shoulder first game of the year now, a wrist injury to finish off the rest of the season.

Welp Patrick year 3 is going to have to be a thing.

Oh FFS. We were hard on Patrick, but there's no denying his talent and his positional need for the Bulls.

Holy crap. This blows. Well I guess now we see if Derrick Jones Jr has anything to offer

I hope this doesn't justify why he's not aggressive.

Get well kid.

year 4 plan for pat. Bulls perspective he is gonna be a cheap deal for 2nd contract.
