Bulls vs. Cavaliers Injury Report
The Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers will face off on November 8, with key player availability shaping the matchup.
Recent Bulls Performance
The Bulls recently lost only their second game this season in an NBA Cup contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tonight's game marks the second in a back-to-back, the second consecutive on the road, the second straight against a division rival, and the second night facing a strong Eastern Conference opponent.
Injury Updates
- Coby White: Chicago’s leading scorer last season remains sidelined with a lingering calf injury, but a return is planned. White is expected back for the upcoming Western Conference road trip starting in November.
- Ayo Dosunmu: The 25-year-old guard returned from a quadriceps injury that kept him out for a week, scoring seven points in the loss to Milwaukee. He is probable for tonight’s game against Cleveland.
Team Context
White’s reintegration will be closely watched, especially given the rise of Josh Giddey as an emerging MVP candidate, Dosunmu’s scoring improvement, the consistency of Nikola Vucevic, and the depth of options coach Billy Donovan can utilize off the bench.
"White expects to be back for the team's Western Conference road trip that begins on Nov."
"The 25-year-old returned from a quadriceps injury that kept him out for a week and scored seven points in the loss to Milwaukee."
