SAN ANTONIO – It will likely never reach the soap-opera status that the Derrick Rose knee drama took on for the Bulls a decade ago.
But the Zach LaVine “left knee management’’ saga was starting to at least feel like the beginnings of a spin-off.
Listed as questionable leading up to the Spurs game on Friday, coach Billy Donovan made it official in his pre-game presser that LaVine would indeed miss the front-end of the back-to-back games, instead looking to play Saturday night when Philadelphia comes to the United Center.
It was the third game LaVine missed, and likely his norm for the time being when it comes to back-to-backs.
