The lopsided score plastered all around the United Center on Monday was the least of Bulls head coach Billy Donovan’s problems.
Before the Timberwolves took the Bulls to the woodshed in a 136-101 rout, Donovan told the media that backup center Zach Collins would be out for at least a week with a sprained big toe on his right foot.
Losing a backup big man would be a body blow at worst for most teams, but the Bulls aren’t most teams. The way their roster is constructed is so fragile that losing any piece in the main 10-man rotation instantly is grounds for a standing eight-count.
