The return of Bulls’ Javonte Green from knee surgery now looking iffy

The hope was to have forward Javonte Green running and cutting laterally at this point, after a January clean-up surgery on his knee. That was not the case, however, as some discomfort has slowed the process down.

If lateral movement wasn’t a prerequisite for playing in an NBA game, the Bulls training room would have a lot more working space.

Unfortunately it is, and Javonte Green is just the latest Bull hampered by it.

In giving an update on Green’s rehab status from January right knee surgery, coach Billy Donovan said that Green was stuck in straight-ahead running, despite the team hoping he would have been able to move laterally at this point.
