The postseason is just around the corner in the NBA, and it looks like the Chicago Bulls will return to the Play-In Tournament. One aspect that will make the postseason difficult for the Bulls is depth. Chicago has faced a lot of injury problems this season, and to try to soften the blow of those injuries, they just signed Javonte Green to a 10-day contract.
“The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has signed guard/winger Javonte Green to a 10-day contract”, reads a Bulls press release. “Green returns to Chicago after playing 10 games this season with the Santa Cruz Warriors, a G-League affiliate of the Golden State Warriors, where he averaged 12.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.7 steals in 22.0 minutes per game.”

Javonte Green did not sign a 10-day contract with the Bulls because he will come in and be a star. He comes in to provide depth and Donovan wants him to be able to provide some energy to the team as well.
“I’ve talked to him about that. He just has to be ready to play, come in and do what he can do. He’s got a motor, he’s got energy, and at least last year he was pretty good with that starting unit at times, simply because of the way he played and what he did. But I want him to go out and do what he does well, and that, I think, will bring energy to the game.”
