Bulls fans had high hopes and expectations for point guard Kris Dunn heading into the 2018-19 season. After coming over to the Bulls in the summer of 2017 (along with Lauri Markkanen and Zach LaVine) in the trade that sent star forward Jimmy Butler to Minnesota, Dunn flashed an improved scoring touch, explosiveness and vocal style that had Bulls fans buzzing.
Unfortunately, injuries and inconsistency on the court slowed Dunn’s production this season. After missing the first two games of the season following the birth of his first child, Dunn suffered an MCL sprain in the first game in which he saw the court and proceeded to miss the first six weeks of the season, putting him behind the eight ball to start off.
