One of the most detrimental absences that first-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls faced all season long is something that they’re dealing with right now. Star 26-year-old shooting guard Zach LaVine has missed the last six games for the Bulls due to a violation of the league’s health and safety protocol.
This has now left the Bulls without one of their most important players at one of the most critical points of the regular season schedule. The Bulls now hold a record of 25-35 following a tough five-point loss on the road at American Airlines Arena to former star shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat on April 24.
