Bulls vs. Cavaliers Injury Report
Pre-Game Overview
The Chicago Bulls will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 8 in the second game of a back-to-back series. Both teams remain largely healthy, though each misses key backcourt players.
Recent Performance
The Bulls suffered only their second loss of the season yesterday in an NBA Cup matchup against the division rival Milwaukee Bucks. Tonight’s meeting continues the theme of "seconds" — a second game in a row on the road, against a division opponent, and an Eastern Conference contender.
Injury Updates
- Coby White remains sidelined with a calf injury but is planning to return for the team’s upcoming Western Conference road trip.
- Darius Garland is expected to be monitored closely, although no new setback has been reported.
Team Notes
White’s reintegration will be significant for the Bulls, given the strong form of Josh Giddey, who has emerged as an MVP candidate, along with Ayo Dosunmu’s development as a scorer, veteran Nikola Vucevic’s steady presence, and the depth options available to coach Billy Donovan.
Player Spotlight: Ayo Dosunmu
Ayo Dosunmu returned from a quadriceps injury that sidelined him for a week and scored seven points in Chicago’s loss to Milwaukee. He is listed as probable for tonight’s matchup against Cleveland.
Author’s summary: The Bulls approach their Cleveland clash with optimism despite Coby White’s absence, relying on rising star Ayo Dosunmu and the team’s growing offensive depth.
