The Chicago Bulls took to the hardwood at the Spectrum Center Wednesday night for its regular season debut against the Hornets.
Before tip-off, some top headlines that were expected to be big talking points—Kris Dunn’s rookie contract extension that didn’t happen and Otto Porter’s load management—came into focus, in part, because of how minutes were distributed. Rookie Coby White was the first guard off the bench. Dunn took to the floor a short time later.
The conscience of Dunn and the Bulls could have been potentially aired a bit like dirty laundry, but he didn’t take the head coach’s decision as a snub.
