The Chicago Bulls lost more than a game in a 35-point blowout to the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 29. Chicago also lost its starting backcourt, with Coby White suffering an apparent calf strain and Josh Giddey exiting with a pulled hamstring.
White exited after just seven minutes, coming up hobbled before heading to the locker room and being ruled out at halftime with calf tightness. It was the same right calf that sidelined him earlier this season for 11 games.
On a positive note, White was not diagnosed with a calf strain and is currently listed with calf tightness ahead of the Bulls’ New Year’s Eve matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.
