Chicago Bulls guard Coby White will miss his second consecutive game on Thursday due to a left ankle sprain, according to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network.
While his absence will be felt, Mayberry suggests that White’s injury is not expected to keep him out for a long stretch, offering some hope that he could return soon. White has been a key contributor to the Bulls’ backcourt, and his injury leaves a gap in their lineup for the time being.
In another development, Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has been ruled out for Thursday’s game as well, according to Johnson. However, this is simply a precautionary measure, as the team is managing his minutes during a back-to-back situation.
The plan is for Ball to be ready to play on Friday against the Pacers, as the team looks to balance his workload while maintaining his health for the long term.
Both players are crucial to the Bulls’ rotation, and their returns will be important for the team’s success moving forward.
