Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is set to miss the rest of the NBA season due to a right foot injury, for which he elected to undergo season-ending surgery. With his recovery expected to last four to six months, he could be fit for the start of the 2024-25 season. LaVine, who has played in 25 games this season, has been a significant contributor for the Bulls with an average of 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. His absence is a significant setback for the team, currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 23-26 record.
