The Chicago Bulls’ next two games – Tuesday, Dec. 14 against the Detroit Pistons and Thursday, Dec. 16 at Toronto – have been postponed. Ten Bulls players, along with additional staff members, are currently in the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols.
According to the Chicago Tribune,
Ten Bulls players have landed in the NBA’s COVID-19 protocol since Dec. 1, gutting the core of the roster, including stars Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. The Bulls haven’t been able to last 48 hours without a new player being yanked into quarantine, with four players entering the protocol this past weekend alone.
In only 13 days, the Bulls had more active players enter the COVID-19 protocol than any other team in the league: Coby White (Dec. 1), Javonte Green (Dec. 3), DeRozan (Dec. 5), Matt Thomas (Tuesday), Derrick Jones Jr. (Thursday), Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson (Saturday), LaVine and Tony Brown Jr. (Sunday) and Alize Johnson (Monday). Nikola Vučević also previously spent 11 days in isolation after testing positive Nov. 11.
