Bulls' Zach LaVine Ruled out vs. Warriors After Suffering Knee Injury
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors due to a knee injury, the team announced per The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The 26-year-old went down at the 8:28 mark of first quarter after grabbing an offensive rebound before committing a turnover.
LaVine previously missed two games after being placed in health and safety protocols. He's been in stellar form when he's been on the floor this season, averaging 25.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from deep.
The Bulls are deep at the guard spot so they can withstand a potential absence from the All-Star, though their scoring will take a hit.
DeMar DeRozan will take on more responsibility as a scorer with LaVine out of the lineup.
