Coby White, a crucial guard for the Chicago Bulls, has been ruled out for at least two more weeks due to a right calf strain. The team announced Monday that the injury will keep him sidelined, including the regular-season opener against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. White is currently in the early stages of his recovery and is participating in basketball-specific rehabilitation exercises.
The Bulls’ medical team has expressed confidence in White’s ability to return to full strength, but they have emphasized the need for caution to prevent any setbacks. This absence will impact the team’s depth in the backcourt, especially as they prepare for their season opener. Coach Billy Donovan has noted that the team will rely on other guards to step up and fill the void left by White’s injury.
White, who is in his second season with the Bulls, has been a key contributor to the team’s offensive efforts. His absence will be felt both in terms of scoring and playmaking. The team will be monitoring his progress closely to determine when he can return to full game action. For now, the focus remains on ensuring a full recovery and avoiding any further complications.
