Zach LaVine May Return to Bulls Lineup on Friday

LaVine's return from foot injury could influence his future with the team amid trade rumors.

Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls guard, could return to the lineup as early as Friday's game against Charlotte, pending no setbacks in his recovery from a sore right foot.
LaVine has not played since Nov. 28 and is currently testing his foot in a rehab stint with the G League's Windy City Bulls.
Despite LaVine's absence, the Bulls have managed a 10-5 record this season, leading to speculation about his future with the team.
LaVine, a two-time All-Star, averaged 21 points in 18 games this season, but his shooting percentages were the lowest since his injury-shortened 2017-18 season.
LaVine's return could potentially boost his trade value, as he has been the subject of recent trade rumors.
