According to Chicago Sports insider Daniel Greenberg, the Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond and guard Coby White have gotten ruled out for Friday night’s matchup against the Boston Celtics.
Long term issues for Drummond and White?
Andre Drummond will miss his fourth straight game, which has raised some eyebrows about whether this issue is a long-term injury. According to K.C. Johnson, Drummond is still “struggling to raise his arm above his head and not close to returning.” The good news is no torn labrum or dislocation; it’s a shoulder sprain. Drummond has averaged 10.2 rebounds, 9.0 points, and 1.0 steal in 6 games this season. Chicago will miss Drummond’s being that backup center. Expect Derrick Jones Jr to continue to play as the center in the Bulls’ small ball lineup against Boston tonight.
Coby White will miss his third straight game with a left quad injury and suffered “a significant deep thigh contusion and still experiencing quite a bit of pain.” So far this season, White is averaging 8.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 7 games. That includes three games of having double-digit point performances. His best performance came against the Spurs when he scored 19 points and shot 7-for-14 from the field.
These injuries to Drummond and White are not long-term but don’t expect these guys to play on Sunday. Both players will probably be out for another week.
Zach Lavine Knee Management gone?
Zach Lavine dropped 10 points on 4-for-16 shooting Wednesday night against Charlotte but will look to bounce back tonight against the Boston Celtics on ESPN, 6:30 CT. Note Lavine played his first set of two games in two nights. Zach Lavine will play three games in four nights for the first time this season. To begin the season, Lavine got held out by doctors for the first two games due to knee management. So far this season, Lavine is averaging 21.5 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.3 rebounds in 6 games.
