ZACH LAVINE NEWS

Questionable for Friday LaVine (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact LaVine has missed over a month due to a foot injury, but he's been ramping up his participation in practice recently. He'll be in the mix to return for Friday's matchup, but it's unclear whether the Bulls feel comfortable bringing him back or whether they'd rather exercise caution. If LaVine returns to game action Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction despite his recent strides.

Nearing return Coach Billy Donovan said Tuesday that LaVine (foot) is ramping up his participation during practices with the team's G League affiliate, and the strides he's made are "very positiv...

Impact Per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com, Donovan "doesn't want to rule out" LaVine returning as soon as Friday's game against Charlotte, but realistically, the shooting guard will be back within the next week, barring a setback. LaVine will miss his 16th straight game Tuesday and may be sidelined for a few more, but his return appears imminent.

Out at least two more games LaVine (foot) will miss Chicago's upcoming back-to-back set, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports reports.

Impact The Bulls hit the road to face the 76ers on Tuesday followed by a game against the Knicks on Wednesday, but LaVine will remain in Chicago to focus on his injury rehab. He recently started to ramp up his on-court work and that includes some cutting and sprinting. Based on LaVine's initial timetable of 3-to-4 weeks, it's possible he could return as soon as Jan. 5 against the Hornets, but it's not a certainty by any means.

Ramping up, still no timetable LaVine (foot) has begun to ramp up his on-court work, but he still doesn't have a firm return timetable, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact LaVine progressed to cutting and lateral movements during the Bulls' most recent practice, and coach Billy Donovan said the star shooting guard has responded well so far. Chicago has fought back into the playoff picture during LaVine's absence, going 9-4 over the last 13 games, but his presence would certainly give the team a boost offensively. LaVine's potential return is also important to the trade market, as he's considered one of the more likely players to be moved ahead of the February deadline.

Still on track with rehab Coach Billy Donovan said Monday that LaVine (foot) is still on track with the 3-to-4-week return timetable that the team provided Dec. 6, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact LaVine, who received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right foot Dec. 7, has been able to shoot and jog in a straight line during recent practices, but he hasn't progressed to cutting yet. The Bulls should provide another update after Christmas. In the meantime, Coby White will continue to start and garner heavy usage in Chicago's backcourt.

Receives PRP injection LaVine received a PRP injection in his right foot Thursday and won't travel with the Bulls for their upcoming road trip, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact LaVine was attempting to return to action for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, but he wasn't able to ramp up due to inflammation on the right side of his right foot that was worsening. After being re-evaluated, the 28-year-old is expected to miss another 3-4 weeks while he recovers. LaVine insisted Thursday that his upcoming absence has nothing to do with his recent interest in seeking a trade, and the hope is that his PRP injection will help the inflammation subside.

Bulls guard Zach LaVine needs 3 to 4 more weeks of rehab on right foot

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine could be sidelined through the rest of December because of inflammation in his right foot

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Set to miss 3-4 more weeks The Bulls announced Wednesday that LaVine (foot) will miss an estimated three to four more weeks.

Impact LaVine has missed three straight games with right foot inflammation -- an issue that didn't appear to be serious initially -- the injury will likely keep LaVine sidelined for multiple weeks. In his absence, expect Alex Caruso to remain in the starting lineup while Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter see more action off the bench. Assuming LaVine can return in exactly three weeks, his next chance to play would come on Dec. 28 against Indiana. However, given the touchy nature of the injury, fantasy managers should keep an eye out for progress updates as LaVine approaches the three-week mark.

Impact The 28-year-old sat out Thursday's win over the Bucks with foot soreness and is expected to miss at least two additional games. LaVine's next chance to take the court should come Dec. 8 in San Antonio. Alex Caruso, Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter should have expanded roles in LaVine's absence.
