We are not even done talking about the Chicago Bulls roster, how good LaVine had become, Lonzo Ball's injury, trade rumors, and this happened.
I wish it was not that bad.
The expectation of having an intense game against the Boston Celtics was gone after I read the news that will not return for the remainder of the game.
It was supposed to be a back-and-forth answer of offense against the Celtics duo.
Anyway, if that injury will need long rest for DeRozan, I doubt the Bulls can survive some of their games.
That's big bad news for Chicago Bulls. Just as they are starting to heat up and are on a 3-game winning streak with wins over top of the teams Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. DeRozan mentioned that the injury was already there but he continued to play for 8 games and then it deteriorated. I wonder what is next, especially since LaVine earlier was hinting at a move to another team. Quad injuries will most likely be healed after a month but the Bulls do not have enough time since they are at the bottom of the rankings.
The only question is "if" it will be that fast to heal. From the looks of his sudden drop on the floor, it's bad, I wish not.

Jokic added another triple-double to his record last night. He won't get out of that top spot and so is JT.
KD on the hand might not be on the list anymore for next week's update because of the injury.
Who will rank up? Those who are present.
Donovan Mitchell or Jaylen Brown.
