Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the NBA postpone the Bulls' games against the Pistons and Raptors?
The NBA postponed the two games because the Bulls had 10 players in Covid-19 protocols, leaving them with a severely short-handed roster. The league chose to postpone rather than force Chicago to play with a makeshift lineup.
Which Bulls players were NOT in Covid-19 protocols?
The players not in protocols were Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, Alfonzo McKinnie, Alex Caruso, Tony Bradley, Tyler Cook, Devon Dotson, and Marko Simonovic.
Which Bulls players were expected to return from Covid protocols for the Lakers game?
DeMar DeRozan, Coby White, JaVonte Green, and Derrick Jones Jr. were all slated to exit protocols in time for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
How did Nikola Vucevic perform against the Miami Heat?
Vucevic struggled badly against the Heat, shooting just 3-of-15 from the field for 10 points and eight rebounds while posting a team-worst -29 plus/minus on the floor.
Why is the Bulls vs. Lakers game on Sunday considered a revenge game?
Both Alex Caruso and DeMar DeRozan experienced rejection from the Lakers this past offseason, as Los Angeles was unable to work out contracts to keep either player, making Sunday's matchup a personal one for both Bulls stars.
