LaVine and Vucevic Return to Bulls' Lineup, Help Secure Win Against Hornets
Despite Trade Rumors, LaVine's Market Remains Quiet as Bulls Improve Position in Eastern Conference
- Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic returned to the Chicago Bulls' lineup after being sidelined due to injuries. Both players came off the bench and were on minutes restrictions.
- The Bulls won their game against the Charlotte Hornets 104-91, snapping a two-game losing streak.
- LaVine, who had been out since Nov. 28 due to a foot injury, scored 15 points in his return. Vucevic, who had missed the past five games due to a groin injury, contributed 11 points and seven rebounds.
- Despite trade rumors surrounding LaVine, there currently appears to be no league-wide market for him, especially after a slow start to the season.
- The Bulls, who were 10-7 during LaVine's absence, are now positioned back among the bottom of the Eastern Conference play-in race.
