I Chicago Bulls won their first Play-in, against the Atlanta Hawks, thanks to 42 points from Coby White. They thus earned a chance to play for the eighth seed in the Playoffs in a shootout against the Miami Heat tomorrow.
If the Heat could be without Jimmy Butler, the Bulls will almost certainly have to do without Alex Caruso. The Chicago guard, one of the defensive anchors of Coach Donovan’s team, has reported a serious right ankle sprain. during the game against Atlanta. The hoax is that Caruso was injured in a collision with Andre Drummond, his partner.
During the second quarter, during a defensive comeback, Drummond stepped on the foot of Alex Caruso, who remained on the floor and then left the court. The former Laker subsequently returned, but he finally left the game in the third period, finishing with 17′ played.
