Bulls' Coby White Out At Least Two Weeks

The Chicago Bulls will begin the season without guard Coby White after the team announced he will miss at least two weeks with a right calf strain and be reevaluated. White, who missed training camp and all five preseason games, returned to practice Saturday but felt tightness Sunday and will be limited to weightlifting and rehab and not allowed to run or cut. The team cited caution because of the risk to the Achilles; White will need a ramp-up to regain cardio and could miss at least six games, creating a significant scoring void after his roughly 20.4–20.7 points per game season. Coach Billy Donovan declined to name a definitive starter in White’s absence; Tre Jones started much of the preseason and the Bulls are adjusting ball‑handling and facilitation plans for the early season. Early optimism that White might play Opening Night was undercut by the team's update that he’ll be reevaluated in two weeks.
