Won't suit up Wednesday LaVine (knee) won't take the floor Wednesday against the Heat, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact LaVine sported a questionable tag upon the release of the injury report, but it appears things haven't gone well enough over the last 24 hours for him to join the action. He'll have another chance to make his season debut Friday when the team travels to Washington, though Shams Charania of The Athletic indicates he is more likely to debut Saturday against the Cavaliers. Alex Caruso (calf), Coby White and Goran Dragic are among the candidates to pick up his voided minutes.

Deemed questionable for Wednesday LaVine is listed as questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat due to left knee management.

Impact LaVine underwent successful arthroscopic surgery in May to address a knee issue that lingered for most of the 2021-22 campaign. The All-Star guard was healthy for the start of training camp, but the Bulls continue to remain cautious. Even if LaVine suits up Wednesday, fantasy managers should anticipate Chicago giving him periodic rest days throughout the campaign in an effort to keep him healthy for the stretch run.

Getting breather Tuesday LaVine will rest for Tuesday's preseason finale against the Bucks.

Impact LaVine will get a blow for this contest after participating in the previous preseason tilts. He enters the season in a key role for the Bulls and could be relied on more than anticipated with Lonzo Ball set to miss multiple months due to a knee injury.

Shoots poorly again Sunday LaVine amassed nine points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and a steal in 24 minutes in a 115-98 win Sunday in Toronto.

Impact Lavine had a rough first half, going 1-for-7 from the floor and turning the ball over five times. He salvaged the night in the third by making both his three-point attempts, leading to six of his nine points. The 27-year-old has yet to find his stroke in the preseason, making only three shots in each game and shooting 39.1 percent from the field. The two-time All-Star has been one of the most productive scorers in the game the last four seasons and has made 49.1 percent of his shots over the last two years, and it's only a matter of time before he finds his way offensively.

Quiet in Friday's win LaVine ended with just seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's victory over Denver.

Impact Lack of production aside, LaVine was able to log 24 minutes in which is a good sign for prospective managers. After undergoing offseason surgery, it appears he will be ready to roll come opening night. The Bulls are slated to be without Lonzo Ball for an extended period, meaning LaVine could play as more of a ball-handler, giving him a slight bump when it comes to projecting his assist numbers, as seen in this outing.

Ready for training camp Bulls executive Arturas Karnisovas said Monday that Zach LaVine (knee) is ready for training camp, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Impact LaVine underwent success arthroscopic surgery in May to address a knee issue that lingered for the majority of the 2021-22 campaign. However, he still posted 24.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists across 34.7 minutes per game. The surgery didn't spot the All-Star wing from signing a five-year, $215 million contract this offseason. Now that he's healthy, LaVine will look to replicate, if not improve upon, his All-Star season from a year ago.

Staying in Chicago LaVine (knee) agreed to a five-year, $215.2 million maximum contract with the Bulls on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After making the All-Star Game the past two seasons with Chicago, LaVine is sticking with the Bulls. Last year, the Bulls made the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and are poised to make another strong run with LaVine back in the mix. While the 27-year-old will still have to split lead duties with DeMar DeRozan, LaVine should have no problems producing yet another strong fantasy season in 2022-23.
