Overview

• Coach Billy Donovan said White did not practice and is unlikely to face the Cavaliers in the first preseason game.
• Donovan described hope that White could play in the final preseason game and be ready for opening night, noting it is only optimism for now.
• White’s calf has tightened whenever his workload increased since Labor Day, prompting periodic shutdowns, though he continues running and shooting.
• With White out, Kevin Huerter started in Cleveland and rookie Matas Buzelis scored 19 as the Bulls explore expanded on-ball development for the forward.
• Josh Giddey sat the second half against Miami as a precaution for a minor ankle tweak, which Donovan said was not serious.
