Bulls Assign Coby White to G League for Final Ramp-Up Toward Season Debut

Coaches plan to decide on a return after contact practices with next-day evaluations this week.

Overview

  • Coby White worked with the Windy City Bulls to log 5-on-5, NBA‑pace reps as part of his recovery from an August right calf strain.
  • Coach Billy Donovan said the session "went well" and outlined a plan to fold White into full‑contact team practice during the upcoming three‑day window after the Detroit trip.
  • White has pointed to a possible debut window of November 16–19 on the West Coast swing to Utah, Denver, and Portland, contingent on how he responds to contact work.
  • Reporting indicates the Bulls are expected to manage his minutes and may initially use him off the bench, though the team has not formally announced a role.
  • Rookie Noa Essengue also practiced with Windy City for development reps, while White’s return carries added weight given his career‑best 20.4 points last season and contract‑year status.
