Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said rookie forward Noa Essengue won’t travel with the team to New York for the second game of a home-and-home Sunday against the Knicks.

Essengue is going to the G League to play with the Windy City Bulls. Donovan said the organization wants Essengue to get more comfortable as a scorer and see consistent improvement in his rebounding and defense.

‘‘We feel like we’ve got to get him some playing time, some practice time,’’ Donovan said.

Essengue, 18, has yet to make his regular-season debut.
