Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (groin) remained sidelined for Monday's preseason contest against Milwaukee. White scored a game-high 21 points in Chicago's preseason opener against Cleveland on Oct. 8 but has missed practice time and two games since then. His injury has been described as groin tightness, which doesn't sound too serious, and there's still every chance White suits up on opening night against New Orleans next Wednesday. There are two more preseason games scheduled for the Bulls, starting with Wednesday's clash versus Minnesota, where Lonzo Ball (knee) is expected to make his long-awaited comeback.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White is ready to take over as the leader after the team lost DeMar DeRozan in free agency. "We got a younger team this year," said White in an interview. "DeMar always led by example. It shed light on the things I'm looking forward to when I get older. And that can start now for me." The 24-year-old is coming off his best season to date, averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds. Even better, he appeared in 79 games. The Bulls still have Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic on the roster. However, with LaVine and Vucevic potentially on the way out, White could emerge as the team's top-scoring option during the 2024-25 campaign.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is available for Tuesday's contest with the New York Knicks. He injured his left ankle in a meeting with New York last week but registered 38 minutes on Sunday versus Orlando. White will have a challenging task going up against the Knicks, as they allowed the fourth-fewest points in the league to point guards. The 24-year-old has also struggled lately, shooting-wise, registering 36.8 percent from the field in the last 10 outings.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. He injured his left ankle in a meeting with New York last week but logged 38 minutes on Sunday versus Orlando and doesn't appear to be seriously hurt. White has had an outstanding campaign and should relish the opportunity to test his talents against the Knicks' star point guard, Jalen Brunson. He faces a team that's allowed the fourth-fewest points in the league to point guards, but opposing ones have been getting high assists numbers all year against Tom Thibodeau's squad.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is available for Sunday's game in Orlando. He tweaked his ankle in Friday's win over the New York Knicks, ending his night after just 14 minutes of action. But now that White is cleared for action, Javonte Green, who had 25 points and 13 rebounds on Friday night, will see a significant dip in DFS interest.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) is listed as probable to play against the Washington Wizards on Monday. White was forced to miss his first three games of the season due to a hip strain after a rough fall against the Indiana Pacers. While he's had rough shooting nights in his first two games back, he was able to move back into his starting role and play a big part in the offense with his distributing skills. The UNC product is in the race for Most Improved Player of the Year and his fantasy value has increased because of it. As long as White is healthy, he should be started across all fantasy formats against a weaker Wizards squad.
Coby White Playing With Increased Minutes On Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) has been cleared to play against Boston on Saturday and will have his minutes increased. After sitting out three games due to a hip strain, White logged 29 minutes versus Houston on Thursday, coming off the bench for the first time this season. It looks like he will be close to getting his normal workload on Saturday against a Celtics team that won't have elite backcourt defender Jrue Holiday (elbow) in the lineup. White has notched 19.5 points and 3.5 assists in 32.5 minutes across two previous meetings with Boston this season.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) is expected to play on Saturday versus the visiting Celtics. He missed three games because of a strained right hip and was questionable heading into Thursday's loss to the Houston Rockets. But the 24-year-old was available, although he finished with just 13 points. White has practiced in the last few days, so fantasy managers should anticipate his presence against the C's. Unfortunately for White and the rest of his squadmates, Boston is a tough matchup for any team.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) is back in action ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is great news as White has missed each of the last three games due to a right hip strain. Both White and Alex Caruso (ankle) are back in the mix and should return to the starting lineup. That means, Torrey Craig should head back to the second unit and won't be as appealing of a streaming option off the bench. Fantasy managers can get White back in their lineups on Thursday.
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) has officially been listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against Houston. White logged a full practice on Wednesday, but the questionable tag leaves the possibility that he might not be ready to play just yet. Chicago's rising star has been absent for the past three games with a hip strain. White had a big 30-point game in an overtime win in this season's first meeting with the Rockets and should be desperate to take the court on Thursday. His return will have an impact on the minutes of Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter, although the former should still have a significant role to play in a good fantasy matchup against an up-tempo team.
