With 35-year-old Nikola Vucevic remaining the incumbent starter, the Chicago Bulls were always going to be thin at the center spot this season. Now, with the news that Zach Collins has undergone wrist surgery and will be out for at least four weeks, that lack of depth looks even more troubling.
Collins was the team's most productive center during the preseason. Head coach Billy Donovan will have to look even further down his bench to find a way to spell Vucevic, who will likely hit the 1,000 career games mark before the calendar turns to 2026.
