Since the Bulls traded for Lauri Markkanen, Kris Dunn and Zach LaVine in June 2016 the franchise has played 114 regular-season games. Including 10 overtime periods they’ve played 5,522 minutes as a team. Thanks to numerous injuries at different times that three-man combination, expected to be the core of a rebuild that was going to take time anyway, has played together in 14 of those games and totaled 266 minutes.
That’s 12.3 percent of the potential games and 4.81 percent of the potential minutes.
If those read like small amounts, they should. Consider that the three-man combination of Robin Lopez, Denzel Valentine and Jerian Grant played 285 minutes together last season alone.
