On December 27, Beijing time, according to The Famous Woj, the Bulls' main point guard Lonzo Ball triggered a health and safety agreement, and he will enter the quarantine phase and miss several subsequent games of the team. He is the 11th player in the squad to be quarantined this month, and head coach Donovan is currently in quarantine.
In addition, the Bulls officially announced today that the team's two players, McKinney and Bradley, also triggered the health and safety agreement. McKinney has just signed with the Bulls until the end of the season, and he is also the first player of the season to turn from a difficult exception. Being quarantined just after signing a formal contract is bad news for McKinney himself.
The Bulls are definitely the team most affected by the health and safety protocol this season. The team has 14 people who have triggered health and safety agreements, including lavin, DeRozan and other main players. If you count head coach Donovan, as well as the team's previously cut Aliz Johnson and difficult special case signed Stanley Johnson, a total of 17 of them have been isolated before and after, which can be said to be the most unlucky team in the league.
The Bulls, who had 10 people quarantined at their peak, were unable to assemble the league's minimum eight-man lineup, so they have been postponed in three of their last five games, which shows how much the team has been affected. The rest of the team have been quarantined except for Caruso, Patrick Williams, Šimonović and two players who have been signed on a difficult special basis, McLaren and Ilyasova.
As the team's main rotation, Caruso and Patrick Williams are currently injured, with the former spraining his left foot in a game against the Rockets and being reviewed after 7-10 days. The latter suffered a dislocation of his left wrist shortly after the start of the season and subsequently underwent surgery, expecting to miss 4-6 months. That means no player on the Bulls team will be able to reach full attendance.
The Bulls are the most surprising team this season, the addition of DeRozan and Brother Ball has made this team full of plasticity on the offensive end, the rotation ball has become more reasonable than before, the team's gorgeous play style has also been eagerly pursued by fans, and a number of shooting statistics are among the best in the league. The Bulls are currently in Second Place in the East with a record of 19 wins and 10 losses, just two wins away from the Top Nets.
With the absence of the ball brother, the bull's ball holding sports will be affected to a certain extent. But the good news is that LaVine has returned from quarantine and will make a comeback in the team's game against the Pacers.
