Billy Donovan said that Zach LaVine is expected to play in Saturday’s home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers after missing the Bulls’ first two games to knee injury management.
As for the injury LaVine is managing: The two-time All-Star had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in May to address persistent soreness that disrupted the stretch run of his 2021-22 season, both in terms of his availability and production.
While the Bulls and LaVine publicly projected confidence that LaVine's knee issues were a thing of the past after he signed a max contract in the offseason and participated in training camp and the preseason, Donovan told reporters ahead of the season opener that LaVine experienced soreness during a string of rigorous practices after the preseason finale.
For that reason, he missed the Bulls' first two games of the season. Donovan told reporters Friday there will be no strict minutes limit on LaVine during Saturday's game, although he did acknowledge it would probably be best if he did not play in the 38-40 minute range.
