After missing Chicago's last three games with soreness in his left knee, Zach LaVine said he feels much improved ahead of the All-Star weekend festivities.
Speaking to reporters after participating in All-Star practice Saturday morning, LaVine revealed that he‘s doing much better after visiting with a knee specialist in Los Angeles this week. The Bulls‘ guard reportedly had fluid drained from his left knee and received a cortisone shot, according to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune.
“I just wanted to go out to [Los Angeles] and make sure everything was good,” LaVine explained, per Poe. “I‘ve been obviously battling the knee soreness for a little bit and not playing at 100% but you know, I just want to continue to go out there and try to help us win. So them last three games, I just had to really take it upon myself to make sure I was okay for the second half of the season and I feel way better.”
