Coby White's Injury Woes: Bulls Guard Battles for Consistency
17 Jan
Summary
- Coby White aims to play two consecutive games, a feat not achieved since December.
- Josh Giddey is ramping up for a return from his hamstring strain.
- The Nets will have a full rotation, with Zaire Williams as their only absence.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White is nearing a significant personal milestone: playing in two consecutive games for the first time since late December. White has battled numerous injuries this season, including calf strains that sidelined him for the start of the year and recurred later. The team has exercised caution, managing his minutes and holding him out of back-to-back games.
Despite recent struggles, including a six-point performance against Utah on Wednesday, White's potential return to consistent play is crucial for the Bulls. The team also received positive news regarding Josh Giddey, who is beginning to ramp up his activity for a return from a hamstring strain. However, Zach Collins' recovery timeline is less optimistic.
In contrast, the Brooklyn Nets are healthier, with only Zaire Williams unavailable for their upcoming matchup. This marks a departure from previous games where the Nets have also dealt with significant absences. Kevin Huerter remains probable with a hip issue for Chicago, while Julian Phillips is questionable with a wrist injury.
