The Chicago Bulls received a mix of updates regarding Coby White’s injury following a concerning exit in their clash against the Indiana Pacers. Despite a strong performance from DeMar DeRozan leading to a crucial victory, White’s departure due to injury in the final moments raised concerns about his availability for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
White left the game after a collision with Pascal Siakam, who landed hard on him following a chase-down block. He did not return to the game and finished with 15 points, four rebounds, and three assists. Although the Bulls secured the win in overtime, White’s status for the next game remains uncertain due to a hip injury, as revealed by head coach Billy Donovan. Further testing will be conducted to assess the severity of the injury.
Despite the injury setback, White appeared to be in good spirits, engaging with teammates and displaying a positive demeanor in the locker room after the game. This is encouraging considering his significant contributions to the team’s success this season. White, who signed a lucrative contract extension with the Bulls last offseason, has been a key player as their starting point guard, averaging impressive statistics while appearing in every game so far this season.
Given the tight schedule between games, there is a possibility that the Bulls may choose to rest White as a precautionary measure to ensure his long-term health, especially considering the potential severity of the injury sustained.
