The lop-sided score plastered all around the United Center on Monday was the least of Billy Donovan’s problems.
Before Minnesota took the Bulls coach and his team to the woodshed with the 136-101 win, Donovan announced in the pregame presser that Zach Collins would be lost for at least a week with a right big toe sprain.
Losing a reserve big for most teams is a body blow at best, but the Bulls aren’t most teams. The roster construction is so fragile that any one of the pieces in the main 10-man rotation that is lost instantly becomes a standing 8-count.
