Bulls guard Coby White misses first game of the season with hip injury

Guard Coby White appeared to have suffered a serious injury against the Pacers, but tests on Thursday showed it was a right hip injury that could be healed by the weekend.

The imaging tests on Coby White’s right hip came back clean.

That loud collective sigh of relief was the entire Bulls organization.

It wasn’t all good news on Thursday, however, as the starting point guard was still forced to miss his first game of the season with the injury.

Still, as bad as it looked when Indiana’s Pascal Siakam landed on White and bent his leg back behind him from the force in Wednesday’s win, it could have been much worse.
