Bulls’ Seven-Game Slide Deepens as Donovan Calls Out Locker Room Connection

Chicago sits 9-14 with cohesion under scrutiny following a 32-point loss to Golden State.

Overview

  • The Bulls fell 123-91 to a Warriors team missing Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, extending Chicago’s skid to seven and dropping the record to 9-14.
  • Billy Donovan dismissed injuries as an excuse and said the team will improve only when players care enough about each other to handle details, defend, and make effort plays.
  • A Sun-Times report says the locker room is beginning to splinter, with Coby White working behind the scenes to keep players accountable and together.
  • Injury updates included limited on-court work for Isaac Okoro, Jalen Smith and Kevin Huerter, with the team 1-7 without Okoro and the staff cautious about ramping players back.
  • Roster pressure is rising with several veterans in walk years, and local reporting suggests Nikola Vucevic may not remain the starting center beyond this season.
