CHICAGO -- The Bulls will have guard Zach LaVine and center Nikola Vucevic back for Friday's game against the Hornets, although both players will be on minutes restrictions and come off the bench.
Vucevic has missed the Bulls' past five games with a groin injury, while LaVine has not played since Nov. 28 with a sore right foot.
"The last couple games have not been easy for guys having to play a lot of minutes," Vucevic said after shootaround Friday morning. "[We can] bring positive energy, have other guys not have to do as much, and with our talent, hopefully we can help the team.
