Contrary to reports that <\/span>White will possibly be traded to the Houston Rockets <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Nevertheless, White, 25, will <\/span>not be hitting the floor <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> for preseason due to a calf strain he sustained in August, per Toran Flores of The Sporting News.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As a result, the Bulls will limit his abilities in training camp and the preseason.\u00a0 Nevertheless, during Media Day on Monday, the Bulls <\/span>have a plan in motion <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to have White return at the conclusion of the preseason, according to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bulls&#8217;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> VP of Basketball Operations Art\u016bras Karni\u0161ovas said that White should return.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> \u201c<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hopefully, we can see him by the end of preseason.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201d <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meanwhile, Chicago will begin their preseason schedule <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on Oct. 7<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Then, they will wrap up preseason <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on Oct. 16<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> against the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On Oct. 22<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, the Bulls will begin their season at home against the Detroit Pistons. For White, his recent injury scare comes at a time when he is in a unique situation about his future with the organization. After <\/span>declining an extension <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> with the organization, he <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is set<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to become an unrestricted free agent at <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">season&#8217;s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to reports, he is seeking an annual salary of $30 million. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> comes a few weeks after <\/span>White was reportedly asking for more <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> from the Bulls following<\/span> Josh Giddey&#8217;s signing of a four-year, $100 million deal <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Coby White grew up in Chicago<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">From the time he <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was drafted<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in 2019, White made Chicago his stomping ground. Since then, White has become one of the most consistent players on the Bulls. Along the way, he became a fan favorite and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was destined<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to be the face of the franchise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At this point, White has a career average of 15.2 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game. Last season, he achieved a career high of 20.4 points per game, while also averaging 4.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. Altogether, Chicago finished the year with a record of 39-43.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In 2022, White and Chicago made it to the postseason. Ultimately, they lost in the first round to the Milwaukee Bucks in five games.\u00a0 Through it all, White was old reliable, giving the city his all.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After sustaining a calf injury, the Bulls will work to have Coby White ready for action at the exact right time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":105754,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[43,429,45,158,2890,2960],"class_list":["post-105748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-chicago-bulls","tag-coby-white","tag-nba","tag-nba-injury","tag-nba-preseason","tag-nba-training-camp"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
