Woj: Zach LaVine is expected to miss several games, healthy & safety protocol

[ChettheJet]

Well we're going to see who has what and can step up. That doesn't mean firing at will but let's see them move the ball around more and start to understand how to play with Vucevic.

[Bulliever2020]

This will end up being a great thing for the team. Some recently de-featured guys will be featured again. Build up some value. Let the FO see what they have once and for all before going into the offseason and making big changes.

Well then maybe we can still get a top 4 pick. Let’s tank!

[The Box Office]

This is great for the team and LaVine. LaVine finally gets to rest his bum ankle after being stubborn sitting out just one game. He should take all the time he needs. Preferably 4 games.

As for the Bulls, this season is over. Forget the Play In tourney. Just play hard. Feature guys who haven't been getting a lot of burn. As with everyone in here, increase the chances of getting a Top 4 pick.

Can’t wait to see the trade Zach threads if we go on a win streak

[Hold That]

Can’t wait to see the trade Zach threads if we go on a win streak

That’s not happening. Nobody on this team can account for the absence of Zach, not even by committee.

[kodo]

KC is saying Zach will be missing 10-14 days, not just a few games.
10 missed days would be 7 missed games.

Sato is also injured, as per KC. Although he's playing through it.

If it's the Coby White show, I might just take a break from watching the Bulls.

[ImSlower]

On the bright side, I think it's likely we see Patrick Williams Best Game of the Season at some point in the next two weeks.

Get well soon, Zach. Not leaving my apartment for two weeks wasn't bad, but I'm a nerd, not a pro athlete. He's gonna be doing a lot of jumping jacks.

[bad knees]

I’m pretty sure I saw Vuc lumbering last game - looked like a calf injury. And Thad, man it seemed like his knee was looking mighty creaky. Sato and Theis too. Better let them all recuperate.

Coby and Lauri, on the other hand, look fresh and ready to go. The benefits of young legs.

Oh, did you say tank?

[Repeat 3-peat]

Could be a good opportunity for PW to get more looks to score. Put the ball in his hands and run some P&R.

[Dan Z]

Time for Troy Brown Jr to step up!

[DASMACKDOWN]

People think its going to be the Coby White show. Ha!

Its going to be the Denzel Valentine show. Book it.

[HomoSapien]

14 days probably means he straight up has Covid right? this could basically be the end of the season if he misses 7 games.

[WindyCityBorn]

Hope he doesn't actually have COVID, let alone a bad case of it.

Not counting on a 4-pick or anything, but all factors in mind, as it impacts the Bulls is fine to me.

He's rolled his ankle almost every game; the chemistry is all out of sorts and we're getting by with Zach hero ball. I've been fearing a major injury with him as he plays the game on a limp with no restraint.

So let's get the rest of this roster sorted.

With your logic let’s just wrap Lavine up with bubble wrap and save him. Maybe he will never get an injury ever again if he sits now lol.

The way Zach plays though I too fear he could get a major injury but it’s not something anyone can control. Injuries are an unlucky moment that just happen.

When you continue to play with an injury it increases your chances for a more serious injury. He has scary slip or fall involving that ankle every other game. Taking time off to let that heal is not bubble wrap. Players all around the league miss games for less.

[WindyCityBorn]

If they actually play better with him out, this board is gonna be a real fun time.

He carried this team to respectability for first half of the season so any one saying the team is better without him will look foolish. We usually get blown out when he sits like last night. Maybe role players can step up not depending on him to bail them out all the time, but the defense is still going to be terrible.

[WindyCityBorn]

KC is saying Zach will be missing 10-14 days, not just a few games.
10 missed days would be 7 missed games.

Sato is also injured, as per KC. Although he's playing through it.

If it's the Coby White show, I might just take a break from watching the Bulls.

Good. Well not good he may have COVID, but good he will sit for two weeks. His ankle needs the rest.

[fleet]

Could be a good opportunity for PW to get more looks to score. Put the ball in his hands and run some P&R.

Coby and Lauri will be in there to pump up the volume

[SfBull]

The tank is on.

What tank bro. If they don’t win then they will simply give Orlando a higher pick. There’s a very low chance of getting top 4. Unless you’re a Magic fan?

The tank is on being Magic´s fan or not ,Bulls will just lose many more games without Zach so we´ll likely be out of the play in games which will be better for another rebuilding.

[SfBull]

Now we probably will win more games. This team was in a huge funk. A shakeup will likely make it better, by energizing the people who are given more responsibility, and by instilling an edge of desperation.

No knock on Zach, I would said the same if Vuce were out.

Not happening with our low quality point guards.

[DuckIII]

Oh my god, I hope we don’t start losing games now!
