The Bulls snapped a four-game losing streak by defeating the Heat on the road (113-103). Despite the win, Chicago is still far from where the team would like to be.
With 12 wins and 18 losses the Bulls are sitting in the 11th place in the Eastern Conference. Struggles on the court are extending to relationship off the court.
One of the Bulls stars Zach LaVine and the rest of the team are not seeing eye-to-eye, according to Darnell Mayberry, Shams Charania, Shams Charania and Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic.
After Chicago’s loss in Minnesota on Monday, there was a tense meeting of the players inside the locker, per Joe Cowley of Chicago Sun-Times. Reportedly, LaVine’s poor defense was the main cause for this.
Head coach Billy Donovan defended the two-time NBA All-Star, but the reports suggest that not all is well in Chicago.
LaVine, who is in year one of his five-year $125 million contract, has been mentioned as a player that the Lakers and other teams are keeping an eye on.
This season the 27-year-old shooting guard is averaging 21.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 34.2 minutes per game.
