Overview
- The Bulls said White has resumed on-court activities but will be re-evaluated in two weeks, ruling him out for the season opener and multiple early games.
- White injured his right calf in August, missed training camp and all preseason games, and reported tightness after Saturday’s practice, according to coach Billy Donovan.
- Team guidance includes no running or cutting for the next two weeks, with conditioning expected to be a hurdle even after he is cleared to return.
- Chicago will lean on Josh Giddey in the backcourt with Tre Jones or Ayo Dosunmu likely to absorb starting minutes during White’s absence.
- Depth is further strained as backup center Zach Collins is out at least four weeks following left wrist surgery, and White enters the final year of his deal with no in-season extension planned, per reports.
