On Wednesday, Billy Donovan talked about how overburdened Josh Giddey and Ayo Dosunmu were with ball-handling duties.
With Dosunmu sidelined and Coby White on a minutes restriction, expect the offense to run through Nikola Vučević more.
“We gotta cut and move better off him.”

The Chicago Bulls rejected a deal that would’ve netted them a super first next summer to draft a player who was miles away from contributing even before his season-ending surgery.
Artūras Karnišovas will never beat the allegations.

Kevin Huerter (adductor) will not return, per Bulls PR.
We’re still two months and four days away from the trade deadline.
But I wonder if Artūras Karnišovas will choose to stand pat because of how injuries have prevented the Bulls from playing at full strength.
