Zach LaVine was among the first players to return to the Bulls’ practice facility, the Advocate Center, for workouts this month, as reported by K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Sports Network.

Johnson notes that most of the team’s roster has already been present for workouts in preparation for the upcoming training camp, signaling a strong commitment from the group.

LaVine, the subject of trade rumors for over a year, is looking to bounce back after a difficult season. He was limited to 25 games due to a significant foot injury that ultimately required surgery.

Despite the setbacks, LaVine remains a key part of the Bulls’ roster, with a substantial contract that sees him owed $138 million over the next three seasons.

This includes a lucrative $49 million player option for the 2026/27 season, which could further shape the future of the Bulls’ plans as they aim to build around their star.
