Overview
- Chicago said White has resumed on-court work but will be re-evaluated in two weeks, ruling him out for Wednesday’s opener against the Pistons.
- Billy Donovan said tightness returned after Saturday’s contact practice, prompting a cautious reset for White, who is in a contract year with no extension planned.
- The timeline projects at least six games missed, and White will focus on rehab and strength work without running or cutting during this period.
- With White out, the Bulls are weighing Tre Jones or Ayo Dosunmu alongside Josh Giddey in the backcourt after a preseason spent testing lineups.
- Backup center Zach Collins had surgery on a non-displaced left wrist fracture and is out at least four weeks, further straining early-season depth.
