Overview
- Coby White was upgraded from questionable and cleared to face Boston after a week out with a calf issue.
- He came off the bench on a near-24–25 minute limit set by medical staff and finished with 5 points and 6 rebounds in a 115-101 loss.
- Coach Billy Donovan said sitting White for one leg of back-to-backs is under consideration, and reporting indicates he is questionable for Detroit with the team expected to use a one-game approach.
- White’s calf problems trace to August with recurring tightness and sporadic absences, and the Bulls are studying minute thresholds and game density to reduce flare-ups.
- Trade speculation has intensified ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, with reports linking interest from the Timberwolves, Hawks and Cavaliers, while White says he remains confident he will figure it out.
