The Chicago Bulls failed to trade All-Star power forward Zach LaVine before the game. NBA trade deadline in February.
Primarily, LaVine’s contract, coupled with a right foot injury he was dealing with, impacted Chicago’s ability to make a move.
With LaVine sidelined for the season due to the aforementioned foot injury, the Bulls find themselves at 31-34 and as the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference. For now, they would participate in the NBA Play-In tournament.
This is still not a team that has playoff feel. This is amplified by one of their best players in street clothes for the remainder of the season.
The question is now obvious. Did LaVine play his last game in a Bulls uniform?
