The Chicago Bulls announced Thursday that guard Coby White will be out until at least the latter stages of training camp after undergoing surgery to repair a left shoulder injury he suffered over the weekend.
The team said the injury occurred while White was "engaged in basketball activities away from the team." After the surgery, which was performed Thursday at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, the team said White would be re-evaluated in four months. That would mean an update would come just before the mid-October start of the 2021-22 regular season, which will see the NBA reorient itself to its typical calendar after the past two seasons were thrown off due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
