The Bulls are currently fighting for a spot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, but they will be without their top scorer for the next few games. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that LaVine is entering the health and safety protocols, and he will be sidelined for multiple games. The Bulls were also forced to cancel practice on Thursday, and there may be other team members who are ultimately ruled out as well. Their next matchup is Friday vs. the Grizzlies, so it will be important to monitor the news leading into that contest.
With LaVine out of the lineup, expect the offense to run through Nikola Vucevic.
