The Chicago Bulls front office made a smart decision Monday by shutting down guards Kris Dunn and Zach LaVine for the remainder of the 2017-18 season.
Dunn sprained his big toe on his right foot in the Bulls’ March 15 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. LaVine has been sidelined with tendonitis in his left knee for three weeks and tore his ACL in his left knee during his Feb. 3, 2017, contest against the Detroit Pistons.
The guard duo has not appeared in the Bulls’ last 10 games. Dunn and LaVine will be benched because neither made enough improvements in their conditioning to play in the Bulls’ final five games of the season, according to a Monday Bleacher Report.
