A blowout without Zach LaVine? The Bulls will certainly take it. 122-106 final score in Toronto.

I wonder how much draft capital the Thunder would have to attach to Aaron Wiggins or Isaiah Joe to get Coby White.
I just want one more reliable shot-creator on this roster, even if he’s coming off of the bench. They need someone for nights like this when the 3’s aren’t falling. – 12:41 AM

Bulls lose by 22, and the trade rumors aren’t going anywhere with this team. Just don’t ask Coby White about them … he’s kind of numb to it.

Wow. A Coby White 3 is taken completely off board following video review because he stepped on sideline – 9:00 PM

Coby White looks physically comfortable out there, but his shooting is unsurprisingly off in his first game back. – 8:12 PM

Coby White expressed confidence in his ankle head into tonight’s game.
He was nervous about the bone bruise diagnosis, but felt reassured once he started to experience improvement from his first day of resting it last week. – 6:33 PM

Coby White slyly referenced Patrick Williams’ answer when asked what Williams’ strong last game can do for Williams: “It does wonders for his confidence and his mental for him to show everyone that he got game.” – 6:31 PM

Coby White was able to participate in shootaround in Boston today. Looks like he might be on track to return to the rotation ahead of schedule. – 11:32 AM

More on this storyline
Coby White is numb to it all. So when the Bulls point guard was pressed about another February trade deadline approaching and his team again churning through the rumor mill, it was almost a shrug of the shoulders at this point. “We get to play basketball every day and it’s a blessing to be here, so I wouldn’t say anxious,” White said on Wednesday when asked about the latest batch of trade rumors surrounding the team. “This is my sixth year here, and I’m pretty sure every single year I’ve been here this has been the case, whether it was anybody (in the rumors), myself included. I think once you get those years in, like for me you just learn it’s out of your control. Whatever happens you’ve just gotta let it play out and deal with the cards you’re dealt.” -via Chicago Sun-Times / January 29, 2025
