Overview
- After being listed as questionable, White played off the bench in Boston under a medical guideline of roughly 24 minutes.
- His calf trouble dates to August and has included multiple setbacks, including tightness that resurfaced early against Minnesota last week.
- Coach Billy Donovan said staff are analyzing minutes, back-to-backs and game density to prevent flare-ups, with this week’s back-to-back under review for possible rest.
- The Bulls lost 115-101 to the Celtics to fall to 17-19, and White shot 2-for-7 in his first game back.
- Josh Giddey (hamstring), Jalen Smith (concussion protocol) and Zach Collins (toe) remained out, and outside reports have linked several teams to interest in White ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
