Bulls Stumble: Ivey Out, Losing Streak Hits Seven
22 Feb
Summary
- Jaden Ivey ruled out for two weeks with knee soreness.
- Bulls enter game on a seven-game losing streak.
- Detroit Pistons return Jalen Duren, Pistons boast clean injury report.
The Chicago Bulls are grappling with a seven-game losing streak as they prepare to face the East's top team. This slump follows their trade deadline acquisition of Jaden Ivey, who has been surprisingly sidelined. Initially appearing in four games, Ivey became an "odd man out" and subsequently missed practice due to lingering knee soreness, leading to his being ruled out for the next two weeks.
The Bulls' recent performance, including 23 turnovers and poor field goal percentage in their last game, highlights their struggles. Their physicality against the Raptors was insufficient, and a similar challenge awaits against the Pistons, who excel in paint scoring and second-chance opportunities. Chicago's guards will need to find success from beyond the arc, an area where Detroit ranks lower.
