Coby White Nears Return, Eyes Bulls’ West Trip For Season Debut

Chicago will ramp him carefully with full-contact work next week followed by a managed role on return.

Overview

  • Coach Billy Donovan said White will travel on the back-to-back to Milwaukee and Cleveland as his ramp-up continues.
  • White said he has been told the Nov. 16–19 swing to Utah, Denver and Portland is the tentative window for his season debut.
  • The Bulls expect to use the three-day break starting Nov. 13 for White’s first full-contact practices after weeks of 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 work.
  • White reported no re-strain after October tightness, and the staff remains cautious about explosive stops and starts as he progresses.
  • Chicago plans minute restrictions with an initial bench role upon his return, a measured approach made easier by the team’s 6-1 start.
