Zach LaVine reportedly will visit a knee specialist ahead of All-Star weekend as the Chicago Bulls continue to battle injuries

The short-handed Chicago Bulls could lose yet another key player ahead of the All-Star break after Zach LaVine will reportedly fly to Los Angeles to receive special treatment on his left knee, according to ESPN.

LaVine sat out Saturday’s 106-101 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an aggravation in his left knee. The guard previously played two games through back spasms before finally sitting out the next two games.

Before Saturday’s game, coach Billy Donovan said LaVine had recovered from the back spasms. Now, all focus is on his left knee, where he previously tore an ACL in 2017. LaVine already has missed several games earlier this season due to discomfort and swelling in the knee, which is closely monitored at all times by Bulls staff.
