I’d be a lot more excited for the Bulls about Alex Caruso nearing a return if I wasn’t so concerned about Zach LaVine’s knee, dude’s battling though. – 3:16 PM

While Alex Caruso was a full contact participant in Friday’s Bulls practice, and Patrick Williams was a non-contact participant, Zach LaVine sat practice out. Billy Donovan said he experienced knee soreness after Detroit game. Believes LaVine will be questionable vs. CLE – 2:02 PM

Both Billy Donovan and DeMar DeRozan cited some loud words being used to challenge each other during timeouts. Donovan said DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Tristan Thompson took lead.
What was said? DeRozan: “Things that I can’t repeat. But it got everybody going.” – 9:48 PM

That’s an example of a player just straight-line driving right past the Bulls. Cory Joseph blew right past Zach LaVine. No resistance, no time for help. – 8:33 PM

The Bulls enter the half down 56-53 against the second-to-last team in the East.
LaVine leading with 17 points, Vooch getting a lot of room to work for 14 points.
Cade Cunningham (12 points, 5 assists) has been crucial and the Detroit bench is making a huge difference. – 8:04 PM

Zach LaVine has been assertive cutting to the rim tonight and Vučević looks comfortable with these mismatches. Should be a consistent combination for the Bulls tonight on offense.
Ten points combined early in this one as the Bulls pull out to a 10-6 lead. – 7:17 PM

More on this storyline
Chicago Bulls All-Star guard Zach LaVine’s visit with a knee specialist in Los Angeles this week went “very well,” according to coach Billy Donovan, who said Wednesday LaVine is cleared to resume play for the team after the All-Star break. LaVine had fluid drained to relieve the swelling in his left knee and he will stay away from basketball activities for 48 hours. Then, he will be cleared to participate in the All-Star Game this weekend and should return for the Bulls next week. “Right now the doctors feel totally fine with him resuming playing,” Donovan said prior to Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings. “Zach felt very, very good about the meeting. … He’s probably going to be about 48 hours before he can do any activity really, but he should be able to resume any activity after that.” -via ESPN / February 17, 2022
KC Johnson: Per Billy Donovan, Zach LaVine’s visit went “very well” and some “swelling was taken out of his knee.” He was given a lubricant and he’s cleared for activity within 48 hours. LaVine is eligible physically to attend All-Star. There will be meeting with Bulls doctors about minutes -via Twitter @KCJHoop / February 16, 2022
Jamal Collier: Billy Donovan says Zach LaVine’s visit with a specialist in LA went “very well.” He says the Bulls expect to have him back after the All-Star break: “The doctors don’t feel like he’s in any harms way of continuing to play” -via Twitter @JamalCollier / February 16, 2022
